--- Comment #10 from Nick Treleaven <nick at geany.org> ---
For the record, Andrei wants to solve this by not blitting init for primitive
types:

> memcpy should be an intrinsic

Would that allow unrolling loops when the length is known at compile-time?

An interim improvement might be to have an array version of std.algorithm.copy
in druntime (which phobos then uses internally).
