me wonders if it would've just been easier to create a proper vector
keyword/type that would work just like the vector_size attribute.
i hardly think all this hassle is worth the trouble. every where
we look there are corner cases unaccounted for that require tweaking.
...and can we keep using __attribute__((vector_size(blah))) forever?
i mean, eventually we'll want auto-vectorization and all sorts of things.
i can't see this thing scaling well.
oh well, committing.
