Yes, I think using C intrinsics makes sense. Same approach is used by

Using asm or intrinsic C functions from Nim

I am looking into using the PDEP/PEXT machine instructions as part of Nim proc:s and it seems to me that the `asm` keyword requires that you somehow know which registers contains which variable. So I am thinking using the intrinsic C functions like: `unsigned __int64 _pext_u64(unsigned __int64
