Recent versions of compilers are starting to support automatic loop 
vectorization, which can be utilized with minimal, if any, code changes. 
  I imagine that as a library author you are more inclined to look for a 
library solution to this optimization problem, whereas compiler authors 
are more likely to try to implement it as part of the optimizer, but it 
seems to me that implementing it in the compiler is generally preferable.
