Ed, I also participate in ASSEMBLER-LIST and I don't remember such a discussion. Can you pinpoint the approximate time period for that discussion?
My biggest complaint/concern with the vector instructions is the woeful lack of any example code showing how to use them for just the kind of functions you described. It's hard to imagine how to use such complex instructions without at least some straight-forward examples.
