yes, from PO1-Prefixing, consider the {24-bit}{32-bit} in the same
way.  i consider such an approach to be a mistake for SV.

jacob and i went to a LOT of trouble to ensure that SV is an
orthogonal consistent RISC paradigm.

therefore just saying RT moves to "a Vector Context" uniformly
across the *ENTIRE* spec is both possible and reasonable.
