The slowdown has a solution - 4780 - which you and Kenji don't agree with. 
Nevertheless, that is how the compiler used to work before the slowdowns and 
regressions. The worst case of 4780 is the user will add the -allinst compiler 
switch, and their compilation will get slower. This is far better than it gets 
slower for every case.

If we keep finding reasons not to do the switch, it will never happen.

If we wait for ldc/gdc to catch up to 2.068, then we'll be in the same situation 
with 2.069+.
