Hi Jeff,

First, many thanks for the reviews!

The new iterators use GET_MODE_WIDER or GET_MODE_2XWIDER to step,
and the patch is only supposed to convert loops that have matching steps.
It wasn't supposed to convert loops that step through modes as numerical
values, but I see now that I fluffed it with:

Sorry about that!  Will fix.

[Maybe in this case the change is safe, since I'm not sure we support
multiple full-integer modes with the same width.  It's still too subtle
for a mechanical change like this though.]

Is that patch OK with that hunk removed?

Thanks,
Richard
