Hello,

gcc's vector extension, primarily developed for C, is only partially available
in C++. It is missing the very useful subscript operator and __builtin_shuffle
(and possibly other things). It would be great if C++ could catch up.

(then I don't know if there is any plan to map some libstdc++ types to those,
probably hard for ABI reasons)
