Can I try updating LoopVectorization?

After contributing to Stockfish (and failing, though having good runs), I’m back to Julia.

LoopVectorization seems to be deprecated for Julia 1.12.
There is a bounty to fix it.

I’m probing whether or not I can do the task. Chris Elrod said it should be easy. I’m not very familiar with LLVM, but I do know the concept of assembly, and I’ve worked with weirder stuff before, like Haskell and Verilog. I also have experience in metaprogramming.

Yeah, I don’t have much experience, but if the tests are there, the task should be just hacking with it until it passes right?
