Maranthes corymbosa is a tree in the family Chrysobalanaceae. The specific epithet corymbosa is from the Greek meaning "cluster", referring to the clustered inflorescences.[3]

Description

Maranthes corymbosa grows up to 30 metres (100 ft) tall with a trunk diameter of up to 1.5 metres (5 ft). The smooth bark is grey-brown. The flowers are pink, tinged white. The edible fruits are ellipsoid and measure up to 4 cm (2 in) long. The wood is locally used in construction.[3]

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.
