yes, exactly.

more later,

first, jacob, i thought overnight about what you said, and basically
for elwidth overrides the backend gets hit by a stack of 8 bit element
0 operations then a batch of el1 then el2 and yes, to sort that out
buffering is needed.

however that's an implementor's problem not an API problem, that
allows different companies to compete on performance.
