Hello,  
I would like to know more about the problem of “Fixed-size arrays with SIMD support”. I am writing so late, because I have written you about the project “Ensure that Julia runs smoothly on the current large HPC systems”, but have not got any response.  
I have got acquainted with the data about this project and, it seems to me, it would be great idea to take both packages and try to combine them. I would take as a basis [ImmutableArrays](https://github.com/JuliaGeometry/ImmutableArrays.jl), and then add there missing opportunities from [FixedArrays](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/5857) and [FlexibleArrays](https://github.com/eschnett/FlexibleArrays.jl). Then I add SIMD support. Finally I need to make sure that all this works correctly with standard types.  
What can you advice to me?  
Looking forward to your reply,  
Anton Gavrikov

Are you aware of [StaticArrays](https://github.com/JuliaArrays/StaticArrays.jl)?

As I understand all of this have already done in this package. What can I do for this project?
