I haven't noticed too much horrible slowdown from std.conv, but std.uni
could use some fixing. I'm tempted to suggest that those internal tables
in std.uni should be pre-generated rather than done at compile-time.
There comes a point where repeatedly doing something at every compile
just isn't worth it when the desired output could be autogenerated
beforehand and saved as a straight .d file with hard-coded values.
