+Extract the set of most-significant bits of a SIMD vector.
+
+This procedure checks the the most-significant bit (MSB) for each lane of vector
+and returns the numbers of lanes with the most-significant bit set. This procedure
+can be used in conjuction with `lanes_eq` (and other similar procedures) to
+count the number of matched lanes by computing the cardinality of the resulting
+set.
+
+Inputs:
+- `a`: An input vector.
+
+Result:
+- A bitset of integers, corresponding to the indexes of the lanes, whose MSBs
+  are set.
+
+**Operation**:
+
+	bits_per_lane = 8*size_of(a[0])
+	res = bit_set {}
+	for i in 0 ..< len(a) {
+		if a[i] & 1<<(bits_per_lane-1) != 0 {
+			res |= i
+		}
+	}
+	return res
+
+Example:
+
+	// Since lanes 0, 1, 4, 7 contain negative numbers, the most significant
+	// bits for them will be set.
+	v := #simd[8]i32 { -1, -2, +3, +4, -5, +6, +7, -8 }

+Output:
