Nice!
Although...
import core.simd;
void main()
{
float4 a = void; // float a; doesn't work either
a = simd(XMM.PXOR, a);
}

Are all those instructions implemented? I seem to get the same for all
instructions.
Also, slight bikeshedding issue: I'm not so sure on using names like
int4 for vectors. You see things like int32 a lot to mean a 32-bit
integer, or int8 to mean an 8-bit integer. Using this notation for
vectors may be confusing.
Doesn't some C libraries use these names for fixed size types?
As for what to change it to, I don't really care. int4v, vec_int4,
int_vector4, anything. It doesn't matter.
