Do you think if statement as expression would be nice to have in D?

vector types are a great feature.  That said, for readability I'm 
migrating my __vector code base to autovectorization for the 
CPU-only deployments and autovec+SIMT/dcompute for the rest.

Fortunately the recent autovectorizer code performance equals or 
exceeds the "manual" code in many instances (more aggressive 
unrolling and better/finer-grain handling of intermediate 
lengths).  OTOH, if perf drops,and SIMT is not available, 
__vector it is!
