Yeah, for sure. I should just take it out of my project. I'm only supporting a subset of the instruction set anyway.


You're in good company though with the WASM folks. It does feel like you've strayed outside of your non-goal of Speed. Also though as a nit, there are double precision forms (e..g, VSQRTPD), so:

> When it upgraded SSE to SSE2 (in 2000), most of its single-precision floating-point instructions got upgraded to double-precision — but not these two.

isn't correct.

It's still not likely that you needed to care about these for mu.


Thank you for the correction! I had my blinkers on there and wasn't thinking of the vector instruction set.
