You claim that you want your rust program to embody the unix philosophy, and yet you refuse to implement half your logic in shell scripts to increase leverage and portability. Please explain.
Your design doc uses "and" in its description of the program. Please explain how you reconcile this with doing one thing only.
Justify your choice to make this SIMD library compute things fast at the expense of VAX VMS support, in direct violation of the commandment of portability over efficiency.
