Yes this would be a problem, but then again, sometimes people come up with
very elegant solutions to problems.
I just put it on a wish list, you never know that some clever design can
make it possible.

I did not check the IL assembler yet, so I have no clue if it provides ways
that would look like MMX instruction sets.

In my company we do a lot of image processing, so it would be nice to have
somehow control at the lower levels too to speed up our processing. This is
why some control of IL assembler would be nice. Then again we could do parts
in C++ too, if we need this as we do now.
