People will want to pass a variable for op. Would that work?
It'll currently fail miserably - it has to be a constant. Otherwise, we
have runtime code generation. While not impossible, it is a large
increase in scope.
Then probably the operation should be simd!opcode(arguments). If a
function is
intrinsic it shouldn't have special syntactic rights.
You're right, I'm just not too thrilled about generating hundreds of
template instantiations.
How is that possibly different from what you have now?
