I'm not sure what a SIMD lane is.  There are a number of architectures 
which support SIMD, such as the AVX extension in x86.  We try to 
describe functionality in generic terms as much as possible so that it 
can be used with a variety of architectures.

We'd be happy to see your proposal.  Often an implementation is a good 
proof of concept, but getting feedback on a design early in the process 
can be a guide to that implementation and avoids changes later.

Can you describe this more?
