Which is a good idea. If you also require SSE alignment (or cache 
a padding) then you can get efficient operations on it.

Modern SIMD can act on 32 bytes in parallel, so libraries that 
aim for single-char semantics are bound to be under-performing. 
Which is no good for system level programming.
