Comment(by chak):

 I did the first stage:

    Until the type checker can use vectorised signatures, we restrict the
 RHS of VECTORISE pragmas to be a single identifier only.

    - This removes the need to be careful about the order of dictionaries
 during type inference. A property that is too fragile to try to maintain
 in the type checker.
