It would be nicer still if vectors and matrices were first class citizens. That way you can hide all of that stuff and it opens up across the board optimization routes that are otherwise much harder.

Agreed, that's basically what I'm asking/begging; don't need operator overloading, but please do give me vectors and matrices.

That's a weird answer. If something is denied many times that shouldn't count as a reason to deny it again but to question whether that denial is appropriate.
