Then I don't see the point of having those functions in the Standard, if they
can't be used at all times. You need to show good cause why they should be
there and that quite a few people would use them, as opposed to their just
being part of your toolchain.

In fact, you should just write what you can as a library and make it available
for others to use, and the rest you should contribute as intrinsics to
compilers willing to take them. Get some experience first in the use, the
usefulness, and implementation limitations before thinking of standardisation.
