-- Vector type declarations [PIM-2.1 Data Types] --
---------------------------------------------------
-- Except for assignments and pointer creation/dereference, operations
-- on vectors are only performed via subprograms. The vector types are
-- then private, and non-limited since assignments are allowed.
-- The Hard/Soft binding type-structure differentiation is achieved in
-- Low_Level_Vectors. Each version only exposes private vector types, that
-- we just sub-type here. This is fine from the design standpoint and
-- reduces the amount of explicit conversion required in various places
-- internally.

-- [PIM-2.1] shows groups of declarations with exact same component types,
-- e.g. vector unsigned short together with vector unsigned short int. It
-- so appears tempting to define subtypes for those matches here.
--
-- [PIM-2.1] does not qualify items in those groups as "the same types",
-- though, and [PIM-2.4.2 Assignments] reads: "if either the left hand
-- side or the right hand side of an expression has a vector type, then
-- both sides of the expression must be of the same vector type".
--
-- Not so clear what is exactly right, then. We go with subtypes for now
-- and can adjust later if need be.
