Please share your thoughts and tell me what other intrinsic

I think the name should be different from "intrinsics", so
that it can
also contain functions like "likely-functionptr" /
"likely-class"
optimization functions (e.g. the is_likely template from the
other
thread).

What name would you suggest then ?
As an ignorant bystander I like core.intrinsics, but if not
then perhaps core.compilerhints or something to that effect?
core.hints
short and simple
but core.intrinsics would have the advantage that it can be used
to put other intrinsics that are not specifically compiler hints
(like __builtin___clear_cache from gcc for example).
