rjmccall added a comment. Sure, but it's extremely easy to unpromote that arithmetic for most operators, and I'm sure LLVM already has a pass that will do that. The only thing that blocks unpromotion is when you feed a promoted result into something that's sensitive to working on a wider value, like comparison or division, or of course an assignment to a wider type.
Alternatively, if you're worried about your ability to unpromote, and since you're breaking strict conformance anyway, have you considered just removing the initial promotion to `int` from the usual arithmetic conversions? I'm pretty sure the rest of the rules hang together just fine if you do. Then you have a uniform rule that permits easier vectorization for all small integer types rather than being sensitive specifically to using the `int16_t` typedef.
