Description
Hello!
I am, and I know a lot of people are, very interested in this library and was wondering if it was planned to add the _mm_alignr_epi8 functions family? I have found this issue that lists the next features to add but mine was not listed, will maybe be added as a next step?
Thank you very much!

Research direction
