Yeah that covers atomic variables, but doesn't cover any sort of 
concurrency safety. In a way its very similar to our simd stuff in the 
language. Although in saying that the simd stuff should be on the 
deprecation path, its not needed and is a distraction to getting your 
code performant.

Modern backends are just too good, you can 100% do everything you want 
with just static arrays and almost certainly do it without writing a 
single intrinsic. gdc/ldc can do things that clang cannot, they are amazing!

Also array ops <3
