+There are three things to note in these functions.  First, note that these
 functions take ``unsigned int`` arrays as parameters; you need
 to cast `the ``int8_t`` and ``int16_t`` pointers from the C/C++ side to
 ``unsigned int`` when passing them to ``ispc`` code.  Second, although the
 arrays are passed as ``unsigned int``, in the array indexing calculation,
 with the ``offset`` parameter, they are treated as if they were ``int8`` or
 ``int16`` types.  (i.e. the offset treated as being in terms of number of 8

 The ``intbits()`` and ``floatbits()`` functions can be used to implement
 low-level floating-point bit twiddling.  For example, ``intbits()`` returns
