According to
http://0x80.pl/notesen/2018-10-03-simd-index-of-min.html
SIMD-tuning a Phobos function, such as,
std.algorithm.searching.minIndex
for an `int[]`-haystack on AVX512f leads to a speedup of 15x.
Should such specializations be added to Phobos or is such an
optimization only possible for LDC or GCC but not for DMD?
Further, when will compilers, such as LDC and GDC, be able to do
these auto-vectorizations automatically? Will the GCC and Clang
compiler setting of `-march=native` play a role also for LDC in
the future. Currently (in LDC 1.16.0) the setting `-march=native`
is not allowed.
