Yes, but it's quite restrictive to force it to be declared at the
same place as it's assigned, if that's what you're implying.
Essentially what's needed in order to allow all this and other
simd operations that don't work in-place on the main operands is
a guarantee that the memory has been pre-allocated. Then it
really doesn't matter whether it's stack or heap.
