One interesting possibility with D is that you can test what 
performance impact boundschecking has on your code with just a 
compiler switch. Is asgen performance sensitive?

RMW operations on shared data are deprecated. The template filter 
on atomicOp is a little different:

Looks like an LDC bug.
