However because C# JIT implementations (RyuJIT included) monomorphizes generics when T is a value type, we end up with different versions of this function, and whenever it compiles one of these functions where it branches over types and typeof(T) along with branching over types is a specific pattern the JIT recognises, we actually end up with a function without any branches after the JIT has compiled the function for us. Fun!

... Good for us, because I abused this pattern a lot in this program in order to make it easy to toggle on/off vectorization!
