+%description
+VecCore is a simple abstraction layer on top of other vectorization libraries.
+It provides an architecture-independent API for expressing vector operations on
+data. Code written with this API can then be dispatched to one of several
+backends implemented using libraries like Vc, UME::SIMD, or a scalar
+implementation.
