| Hi All,
| 
| There is a huge amount of boilerplate involved in adding a full
| complement of vector primops to GHC. I would like to reduce this
| boilerplate by programmatically generating the vector primops. My plan
| is to add utils/genvecprimops and #include its output into
| primops.txt.pp.
| 
| Does this sound reasonable? Any objections? While I'm at it, is there
| any related cleanup I could undertake?
| 
| Thanks,
| Geoff
