2.1.0

Changes

🚀 Enhancements

• SIMDify array/span initialization which improves performance by appx. 2-4x depending on supported vector width (PR #16)
• Improve .ToList() performance by 2x via directly passing RangeEnumerable to List<int> constructor which subsequently calls ICollection.ToArray(...)
