I guess i fail to grasp the logic mandating that the intended source
level, strictly typed, 'vector float | vector float' should be mangled
into an int op with frantic casts to magically emerge out from the
backend as the original 'vector float | vector float', but i'm not a
compiler maintener: for me it smells like a regression.
