Various early versions of the Ada 9X proposals had some explicit support
for vectorizing and the like.  I don't remember the details.  You could
look up the early versions if you're interested.

These were removed, not because there was anything wrong with them
technically in and of themselves, but because there was a general
feeling amongst reviewers (especially compiler writers) that there were
too many new features.
