By the way, this (just emitting an x86 idiv even if it the 
operands are known to trap) will likely be a pain to implement 
for LDC. There has been an (overly aggressive, on the side of two 
LLVM devs) discussion about this a year ago or so: 
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2013-April/060930.html.

Personally, I find their stance highly troublesome, as they have 
introduced undefined behavior that is hard to circumvent for 
practically no potential performance gain. I just hope we can 
somehow avoid emitting a branch on every integer division…
