To some extent I agree with Andrew Pinski here. Saying that you need
support in a generic vector extension for "vector float | vector

should be done by the back-end.
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.
Because it's *not* strictly typed. Strict typing means that you accept
the same things accepted for the element type. So it's not a
regression, it's a bug fix.
