On a tangent, but this is what makes Python look so ugly to me, the required use of double underscores for things like equals is extremely jarring.

I have very slowly come to appreciate it as a language, but visually it will always be ugly to me because of clashes like this with other languages.

I get the same feeling when looking at SIMD code.

you are supposed to use a typedef, not to do that.

It's like complaining you have to use _Bool all over the code. Include stdbool...

It's the reason I prefer to write inline assembly, or even external assembly, for SIMD code rather than use intrinsics. Much easier to read.
