I'm trying to think is there a cleaner way of implementing this rather than
having two functions but I'm not sure.
On one hand the functions use the (mostly) same implementation except for the
vpop check.
Was there any thoughts on just implementing the one function and having a
dynamic check within that?
Or did that impact on the performance too much?
On the other hand I do like the approach of the single variable vpop. Certainly
makes it clearer to myself at least of whether the instruction gets used or not
and an easy point to debug if required in the future.
When selecting the vpop implementation, is it flagged to the user at any stage
that vpop will be used?
