That might be the case - Richard should know. If so your type check
is still too late, you should instead recognize that we are permuting
a VLA vector and then refuse to go any of the non-VEC_PERM generating
paths - that probably means just allowing the code == VEC_PERM_EXPR
case and not any of the CTOR/CST/VIEW_CONVERT_EXPR cases?
