The description you make tell me that this look similar to numexpr[1]. It could 
be useful that you look it up.

Hi Matthew,

I hate to say I'm still a noob in the implementation details of Numpy, I just 
got an interpreter for sth else working, and suddenly realized it can make 
seemingly better magic methods in Python spirit.

Repa and Accelerate per my learning so far, are focused on loop-fusion, i.e. 
optimization after all intended computations have been expressed and composed 
together, this seems some different from Numpy/Pandas tradition to implement 
doable things ex ante, and let the users do things interactively  ad-hoc. That 
said, so I feel Repa will do composed computations more speedy, once properly 
organized. And with Accelerate, since it does GPU natively, I do feel a sure 
thing for it to excel CPU implementations.

btw I'm not a native English speaker, please don't hesitate to ask me to make 
myself clearer in my wordings, I'm aware of my flaws in English skills.

btw I'm a believer that Brain-Computer-Interface ought to happen sooner, 
especially non-intrusive ones, I can't wait to program such interfaces for 
great good and fun. I see you are pioneering in this area, take my admiring, 
and I started following you on github, looking forward to hear from you more.

btw I'm behind China's Great Fire Wall, access to some western sites are banned 
badly at times, that will explain why I can be unresponsive some times.

Cheers,

Compl
