This was rejected as being non-idiomatic and obscuring what compilers are/aren't capable of. Rust is currently leading the benchmark because someone added the flag -C llvm-args='-unroll-threshold=500' which achieves the same effect. Why one of these is acceptable and the other isn't is beyond me, and all of this makes the whole project very discouraging.
