Can we drop static struct initializers?

The last times I have shown a benchmark here, people have answered me that the dmd backend is primitive/old, so they have implicitly told me to not bother. So as you have noticed I have stopped showing benchmarks here for a long time, and I have focused myself in helping finding performance problems in LDC (and in LLVM itself). Recently LDC devs have slowed down their development, and they have not followed my suggestions, so I'll probably work mostly on LLVM.
