unroll pragma
-------------
The ``unroll`` pragma can be used to tell the compiler that it should unroll
a `for`:idx: or `while`:idx: loop for execution efficiency:
.. code-block:: nim
proc searchChar(s: string, c: char): int =
for i in 0 .. s.high:
{.unroll: 4.}
if s[i] == c: return i
result = -1
In the above example, the search loop is unrolled by a factor 4. The unroll
factor can be left out too; the compiler then chooses an appropriate unroll
factor.
**Note**: Currently the compiler recognizes but ignores this pragma.
