All power to the people that have code that simple. But 
auto-vectorising in any capacity is the wrong way to do things in 
my field. An intrinsics library is vital to write highly 
specialised code.

The tl;dr here is that we *FINALLY* have a minimum-spec for x64 
CPUs represented with SSE intrinsics. Instead of whatever 
core.simd is. That's really important, and talks about 
auto-vectorisation are really best saved for another thread.
