 From a conceptual standpoint, this sounds like the sort of thing 
array languages like APL and J thrive on, so there's solid 
precedent for the concept.  I might suggest looking into 
optimising compilers in that space for inspiration and such; 
APEX, for example: http://www.snakeisland.com/apexup.htm

Of course, this comes with the caveat that this is (still!) some 
relatively heavily-academic stuff.  And I'm not sure to what 
extent that can help mitigate the problem of relaxing type 
requirements such that you can e.g. efficiently ,/⍉ your 4 2⍴"LR" 
vector for SIMD on modern processors.
