 New Pragmas in Clang

+Clang now supports the `#pragma unroll` and `#pragma nounroll` directives to
+specify loop unrolling optimization hints.  Placed just prior to the desired
+loop, `#pragma unroll` directs the loop unroller to attempt to fully unroll the
+loop.  The pragma may also be specified with a positive integer parameter
+indicating the desired unroll count: `#pragma unroll _value_`.  The unroll count
+parameter can be optionally enclosed in parentheses. The directive `#pragma
+nounroll` indicates that the loop should not be unrolled.  These unrolling hints
+may also be expressed using the `#pragma clang loop` directive.  See the Clang
+`language extensions
+<http://clang.llvm.org/docs/LanguageExtensions.html#extensions-for-loop-hint-optimizations>`_
+for details.
