You can just depend on the subpackage gfm:math.

Is 1:1 GLSL syntax that good? In GLSL:
- per-item max is just called "max" which clashes with Phobos. 
Most GLSL function names clash with Phobos which creates errors 
when both are imported.
- mat3x4 is a 3 column by 4 rows types, which is kind of a trap.
- vec4 does not say it's 4 floats whereas vec4f does
- "lerp" might be a better name than "mix"
- etc...
