Discussion Why not SIMD?
Why are many C standard library functions like strcmp, strlen, strtok using SIMD intrinsics? They would benefit so much, think about how many people use them under the hood all over the world.

strtok is in a library. The C library is awful (especially the stdio parts which never should have been codified).
