Description

I'm getting back to implement the altivec support and probably I could cut a LOT of boilerplate by using something similar to paste or interpolate_name.

Since core_arch would end up being part of libcore I wonder if there are constraints in doing this.

Simply adding it as dependency in libcore shows a problem in proc-macro-hack, so probably it isn't that straightforward and would make the build process more brittle...
