Yes, and the simd implementation already encodes that both in 
__vectorized_sizeof<T>() and __intrinsic_type<T>.

The test is correct. The stdx::simd implementation has a latent bug (my 
dejagnu boards included only POWER7-POWER9; I'm at POWER5-POWER10 by now). The 
_S_store function is trying to work around bad code-gen but fails to notice 
that long long vectors can't be used.

I'm looking at that function again, also in light of recent improvements wrt. 
code-gen, and will remove that assumption, that long long is vectorizable.

__intrinsic_type_t<T> should never be T, but always the type that can be 
passed to corresponding platform intrinsics. There are traits for the 
implementation to detect whether the intrinsics types are available.
