Description

Distribution
gollark: Well, why should you NOT be able to request to be eaten?
gollark: I can't really remember life events very well at all (I use advanced "journal" technology on my computer to help with this, recently), but can remember random facts quite well.
gollark: Sometimes my lack of ability to imagine things and/or broken long term memory can be really convenient!
gollark: ... yes, that.
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.
