Few months ago I have written a small rant about that. That 
little [] at the end of those arrays is not innocuous, it 
essentially throws away a very precious compile-time amount of 
information: the static length of the arrays. So for the compiler 
it becomes much harder to optimize those loops. In my opinion 
this is an unacceptable part of the design of Phobos (mostly 
std.algorithm).
