I could also "sell" this pass as fixing all the vectorization bugs
concerning unaligned stores, so in some extent I did fixed bugs by
proposing this new pass. I hope you don't mind if in the next days
I'm going to fix some missed-vectorization PRs ;-)

This is the case for the proposed pass.

That's what we called "technology preview" when Daniel Berlin, David
Edelsohn and I wanted to integrate the loop interchange in GCC 4.0 ;-)
Except that this time I spent much more time to fix the bugs in this
"technology preview" than I spent back in September 2004. If I'm
submitting this pass at this late point, it is also because I wanted
to fix all the bugs that I could find, going through the transformed
cases one by one ensuring that there is no wrong code generated, etc.
