 It would be nice to have support for vector unit (MMX, SSE, AltiVec, and
 so on) operations in GHC. Currently Data Parallel Haskell cannot utilize
 vector units due to GHC's lack of support.
 Those vector operations could be nicely used to get e.g. stereo signal
 processing for the price of mono signal processing.
 Maybe those operations could be added to GHC.Prim, or because there are so
 many, to a new module, GHC.Prim.Vector.
