Convince Walter to add float4 type and some intrinsics to DMD (I'll post a

some type that would be treated specially. After all, intrinsics have
function signatures and those should specify some concrete types.
Yes, LDC would follow. The main reason people can't use these
intrinsics in LDC at the moment is that there's no type in D that maps
to an LLVM vector type.
Instead of introducing new a new type, couldn't float[4] be the one
mapped to a vector type? Why do we need a new type?
