<summary>Methods to probe for SIMD support.</summary>
<remarks>
<para>Helper methods used to probe for features in the SIMD runtime.</para>
<para>Sometimes it is desirable to write code in more than way to take advantage
or features available only on recent machines. This class provides the required introspection
capabilities to have such thing detected at runtime.</para>
</remarks>
<example>
<para> The following example shows how to detect the feature set and conditionally generate the right code.</para>
