The state of core.simd

I've taken a look at core.simd and I have to say is unuseable. In a very 
small test program I already found 3 bugs

1) Using debug symbols together with core.simd will cause a ICE

2) The STOUPS instruction is not correctly implemented:

3) The XMM register allocation is catastrophic: 
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=10226

Whats the current state of core.simd? Is it still beeing worked on? 
Because it its current state its pretty much unuseable.

Kind Regards
