Now that the leadership talks about Leverage points
http://donellameadows.org/archives/leverage-points-places-to-intervene-in-a-system/

When rated from 1 to 9 this is a 10, it likely brings negative 
value.

This is even worse if D_SIMD version of AVX is implemented 
because of that, loosing precious Walter-time (an illiquid asset) 
for a non-existent fraction of users: also a 10.

Whereas merely adding colors to DUB would be a 7.


I feel even more uneasy by all that @safe focus, as if native 
programmers started to care overnight. No, we still don't. People 
say they do.
