It doesn't feel appropriate to comment there for me not knowing any Rust really, but "lax_" (or "relax_") would have the extra benefit of being very short.

(Is this going to overload operators or are people going to have to type this… a lot… ?)

[Sharlin]

Rust has some precedence for adding convenience newtypes with overloaded operators (eg. `Wrapping<I>´ for `I.wrapping_add(I)` etc). Such a wrapper isn't currently proposed AFAIK but there's no reason one couldn't be added in the future I believe.

For giggles, here's one I whipped up, along with an example use: https://godbolt.org/z/Eezj35dzc

Having done unspeakable things with the C preprocessor myself, this Rust macro soup truly warms my heart <3

[Measter]

Oh this is simple, this is just a bit of basic expansion to generate boilerplate. The real experts can do some gnarly and amazing stuff with macros.

[Sharlin]

Wow, that's some hardcore unrolling.

[eqvinox]

Right, as long as the LLVM intrinsics are exposed you could just put that in a crate somewhere.

WebAssembly also ended up calling its set of similar instructions relaxed.
