That said, it's not an effort to address D's natural vector syntax, the

goal is to provide a hardware SIMD API that is as orthogonal as possible
and portable (with confidence it will run reasonably well).
I wonder if druntime could be enhanced to use the SIMD stuff though in
the
functions that perform the natural vector operations, might offer some

little boosts.
Cool.
It'll be nice though if D's vector operations could be expressed on top
of it. I mean a[] + b[] is so much easier to read.
Perhaps I'm the confused one here, but as I understand it, that's the
whole point of the latter part of the paragraph - array operations are
implemented in druntime, and that implementation might benefit from using
SIMD instructions.
