## Agenda

 - Hello again! Same time?
 - Any further decisions re: wrapping / branching?
   - Caleb: not "can it be branchless" but "does it make sense to branch?"
 - Shuffles?
 - Masks?
 - Non-2^N vectors?!


## Summary

### Immediate Goals
- audit our API for necessities
- initially launching to the `core_simd_arithmetic` feature flag

### Later Goals
 - internal work on rustc to add SIMD support
 - maybe "static shuffles" (interleave, etc.)?
   - find out what users want
 - simd trig
