I dont know if this is the correct place to ask, but i'll just try.

Will the dotnet framework be getting new native datatypes, like the vector
or something like that ?

for many calculations ( primarely grafics, audio, and academic
alculations ), i now have to make a struct of 4 ints/floats, and create my
own calculations for them. My guess is, that with a native type vector, the
jit compiler would be able to use 3dnow/sse/sse2/sse3 on that datatype, or
when those are not availeble, emulate them using ints or floats.

In the XNA framework there is a vector beeing used, but that one is using
the struct method i mentiont earlyer. I think they would benefit from it
aswell.

Dont know if it has been asked before, but where would i mail feature
request for the framework/jit compiler/misl language to ?

regards,
Paul
