We need a clear syntax to know if the SIMD would be applied.


I think a function would be overkill though. It's just multiple adding or
subtracting happening at the same time, so it would be like having a
function for adding 2 floats and a function for adding 2 ints and so on.
And most compilers already optimize SIMD into a lot of situations, so the
cases where SIMD is used don't have to be obvious.
