This adds two articles ("the" and "a"). Something still feels odd, though.
Sandra, what is your take?

I'd use a colon instead of a period to introduce the @smallexample at
the end.
As a separate issue, can we settle on a consistent use of "elementwise"
vs "element-wise" and "bitwise" vs "bit-wise" (and possibly some other
similar things) throughout the GCC documentation? We already seem to
have a stronger precedent for "bitwise" than the hyphenated form.
"Elementwise" is less clear, but if we don't hyphenate "bitwise" I don't
know why we should use the hyphenated form for similar words. I suggest
a separate patch for this cleanup.
