+Global Structures Alias Analysis
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Access to global structures can also be vectorized, with alias analysis being
+used to make sure accesses don't alias. Run-time checks can also be added on
+pointer access to structure members.
+
+Many variations are supported, but some that rely on undefined behaviour being
+ignored (as other compilers do) are still being left un-vectorized.
