In other words, the "i" from the "shi" generally gets dropped in cases like this. (There isn't anything else about the pronunciation I'm unaware of, is there?)

Y2K compliance is such a tricky thing...

Well, sure there is. You know how non-native-English speakers often pronounce English words using the rules of their own native language? And they sound kinda funny, no? (This includes me too! lol)

Same thing kinda applies here.

There are several differences (some of them are somewhat subtle) that make American pronunciation of Japanese sound quite .. funny :P

Just one example, in English (more specifically, north american english), most often, non-stressed vowels are converted to schwa (think about the 'u' sound in the verb subject vs the noun subject). Japanese doesn't do that kinda thing.

wow, this is very off-topic.

It's just the exp(), expm1(), and exp2() functions. Previously they used  some extremely slow asm instructions. I wrote completely new implementations that are fast. It was done primarily because the C std math library was inaccurate on Mac OSX. Most people won't care. But in the past, someone (Robert Frazer, I think) had complained that DMD's exp() was the bottleneck in his code, and was less than half as fast as MSVC/Intel, so the speed of these functions is actually critical sometimes.

It's elided completely these days? I was aware that high vowels became voiceless between voiceless consonants, but this is new. It does sound about right, but I'm not used to hearing voiceless vowels, so it's a bit hard for me to distinguish.

Actually, it was me and thank you very much!

I don't know exactly what you mean, but: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Precompiled-Headers.html

I suppose it's been added since the last time I looked. gcc has thousands of switches.

As does the preceding statement "It has not undergone testing".

Hang on ... does that mean that 200% of things are now explained?  Now if only the remaining -100% can be explained, human knowledge'll be complete.

How awesome, thank you so much!
