Oh in that case, I'll just send you the code I have right now. I'd double-check it to see if it works though -- it may have bugs, especially in the SIMD.

 I probably won't be touching this for a while... makes me wonder if the 30 day expiring is a bad idea for if/when i return to this.

Oh, feel free to make a copy for yourself and use it whenever you might need it. :) I might change the expiration date later, though currently I don't want to leave it on there forever.

Yeah, NNTP is lousy for editing.

How is this going?

There were also some discussions about the behavior on resizing with respect to stomping, IIRC. This seems to imply that not even the semantics are completely clear. I guess a complete rewrite would be appropriate in such a situation.

 Fun... I'll go through for the most recent version of DMD and see about porting my changes over in smaller bite-sized chunks and see if it won't be accepted. This might be easier than figuring out all the changes in the D language and figuring them out as I come across them (not that I used many of the features beyond templates and operator overloading).

 That is assuming this is still the case (it's been a year afterall). Hmmm. Off hand I'm remembering there was the issue of 'sometimes a var sometimes a value sometimes a ref' that was popping up when it switched over to allocated memory when the array got beyond a certain size. There's something I still need to figure out.
