gollark: You could have some thing where you prefix an instruction with `vec[some parameters]` and it converts it to multiple instructions working on each register or something.
gollark: Couldn't it mostly just be a macro, if you have those?
gollark: Clearly you should just implement vectorization so you can just run some magic "vectorize" thing on ANY instruction and the assembler works it out.
