Could it be done with CPP macros perhaps, instead of a separate code generator program? If the boilerplate is fairly regular and only requires placeholder-substitution, identifier concatenation and stringification, it could be an option. Just a thought.

Hi All,
There is a huge amount of boilerplate involved in adding a full complement of vector primops to GHC. I would like to reduce this boilerplate by programmatically generating the vector primops. My plan is to add utils/genvecprimops and #include its output into primops.txt.pp.
Does this sound reasonable? Any objections? While I'm at it, is there any related cleanup I could undertake?
Thanks, Geoff
