There was a problem hiding this comment.
In my mind, marking this as a breaking change is a decision on a knife-edge.
I probably wouldn't have myself, but I can understand why you have, and I'm perfectly happy for it to be marked as such.

Stacked on #123 since it touches the same code. Adding 64-bit *integer* types is tricky because SSE4.2 and AVX2 are missing some important 64-bit operations, and I don't feel comfortable implementing those until #124 is addressed. However, we already have `mask64x[N]` and `f64x[N]` types. The `f32s` associated type has a `Bytes = <Self::u32s as Bytes>::Bytes` constraint, which misled me into thinking that a float type *needs* an associated int type, but that constraint is only there to assert that the two share the same `Bytes` type.
