I don't think this would be useful really because if you have a
function say logl where you have two options of long double, you want
to support both you would name one logl and the other logl128 and then
using DECL_ASSEMBLER_NAME to from the SIMD name would be useful to use
the one with logl128 in it rather than logl.
