This one has (finally) got array operations implemented. For those who want to show off their leet assembler skills, the initial assembler implementation code is in phobos/internal/array*.d. Burton Radons wrote the assembler. Can you make it faster?

The array op docs aren't actually on the 1.0 array page. But great! I remember trying to use these 3 years ago :D

Uhh...Is it just me or did you accidentally repackage 2.017 and call it 2.018?  I checked all the obvious stuff, cleared my cache and all, and no matter what I do, the date on DMD.exe in the 2.018 zipfile is 7/10/08 and it is identified when I run it as 2.017.

Fixed.

I don't know what happened there, but I just re-uploaded it.

Sweet!  One of the best updates ever.

That is pretty neat.

So does this mean you've reconsidered your position on adding new
features to D1.x?
Because q{} strings,  1..10 literals, and that enhancement to IFTI
used by std.algorithm, all sure would be nice.  I'd take those over
fancy array ops any day.

Array ops were always supposed to be there.
