We'll have these sort of problems till the day we finally replace ALL of C magic with proper D equivalents. In this case array ops should do just fine (if not faster).
As has been pointed out before, we really should start adding unit tests which verify CTFEability. And honestly, I really think that std.algorithm needs better testing anyway. It's actually pretty poorly tested. For instance, one of the major things that I'd like to do with its tests is make sure that all of it works with reference type ranges. I'm pretty sure that the reality of the matter is that a lot of it doesn't.
