That "rather ugly" one looks actually quite neat!

I was over-egging the pudding a bit, for humorous(?) effect. Within the PDL-o-sphere, its DSL makes it quite close to fun to write n-dimensional loops. It has some slightly deranged, borderline "cpp abuse" levels of macro to generate per-supported-type code within proper C code (PDL_GENERICSWITCH et al if you're interested), and PDL has infrastructure to generate one version of given "code" per supported type.

The above results in something a bit like, but more deranged and worse than, https://github.com/rofl0r/order-pp/blob/master/example/array_ops.c

I keep thinking that there are various parts of PDL that would work as standalone parts, and the type-generic stuff is one. Probably a different direction from what your tool enables.
