Hmm, my point above was for a tuple of mir slices, which seems to 
correspond more to a struct of arrays. I wonder if your 
implementation would be able to take an array of structs approach 
using built-in mir. I know mir can handle complex numbers, which 
requires a struct. I don't know off the top of my head how it can 
handle more generally a slice whose type is a struct.
