Interesting article:

"C Is Not a Low-level Language" (https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3212479)

While I feel that article is being too harsh on C, it would be interesting to have cache intrinsics just like we have SIMD intrinsics. I would imagine that would be more complex to implement, however.
