26 So, a new, experimental optimization model and framework inside your
27 compiler. If it's specifically for optimizing on loops, I'll venture a
28 guess it's going to be mostly effective for graphics libraries and
29 apps. I've got some slightly riskier educated guesses on how it works
30 and what some numeric side effects and consequences might be, but they
31 scare me, so I think I'll leave it to someone who actually knows more
32 about it...
