Ada to D - an array for storing values of each of the six bits which are sufficient

SIMD could be useful for some fancy bulk operations. But you 
should be able to write a good basic packed array without SIMD, 
perhaps about as nice as the Ada ones (D sometimes offers good 
enough tools to build what you need).

Posible use:

PackedDynamicArray!6 pa; // On heap.
PackedFixedArray!(6, 300) pfa; // On stack.
