first encounters of areas that result in behavioural changes:
* predication without zeroing (first encountered bit set, which may be NO bit set in the case of scalar)
* REMAP
* LD/ST which uses "RA.isvec" (and RB.isvec) to set modes.
REMAP can be "solved" by using RT.scalar and at least one of SRC.isvec=1, it achieves the same goal.
however LD/ST- imm/idx both need more comprehensive analysis.
