What about transparent support for the following helpers/macros, 
where available (otherwise do nothing):

* restrict
* prefetch(), prefetchw() and __builtin_prefetch with GCC or asm()
* likely()/unlikely() and __builtin_expect with GCC
* nothrow
* pure
* ..

Gathered in an header file, they may come handy for portable 
C implementations and modern compilers.
