This builtin is interesting because there is basically no reason for the mask 
to be the same type as the vectors. So we could have 36 versions of this, one 
for each pair of vector types. Or if we required the mask to be a vector of 
integers we could cut that down to just 24 versions. But no matter what types 
you use, this builtin does the exact same thing to the bits. So in the end it 
seems simpler to have just one version and have users convert between vector 
types. Without the `-fno-lax-vector-conversions` flag, clang will silently 
convert between vector types for you anyway, so there's no real ergonomic loss 
either (not that ergonomics really matter for builtins).
