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.
gollark: Hmm, insect levels seem to have been higher than usual lately, and it troubles me.
gollark: In normal programming languages, we solve this with "loop" technology, or sometimes higher-order functions (which do loops internally).
gollark: I only meant it semimetaironically, but sure.
gollark: SIMD in asm2bf when?
