Don, please check this in.  We can edit it "in-place".  -- Jules

You could use the VSIPL++ specification section to provide structure to 
the table.

I.e.

  +----------------------------------------------+
  | View Elementwise Functions                   |
  +--------+-------------------------------------+
  | vma    | fused multiply-add (Z = A*B+C)      |
  | vmul   | multiply (Z = A*B)                  |
  | ...    | ...                                 |
  +--------+-------------------------------------+
  | Redutions                                    |
  +--------+-------------------------------------+
  | maxval | maximum value (Z = maxval(A, idx))  |
  | ...    | ...                                 |
  +--------+-------------------------------------+
