Yes that makes sense, not.  Since most of the time, you have a mask
and that is what is being used.  Like masking the the sign bit or
doing a selection.  The mask is most likely a NaN anyways so having
that undefined just does not make sense.  So is this going to be on
scalars?  If not, then we should still not accept it on vectors.
