Wait, ARM?! That's really cool. However, as far as I know, D on ARM is very experimental. Having an experimental compiler not eak out every last cycle is not something that should be unexpected.

That said, I'm not sure what point you were trying to make, aside from backend quality-of-implementation issues. I think bringing these issues up is important, but they are tangent to the language changes you're asking for.
