the whole point of those RVV/SVE-style vector types is the programmer does
*not* provide MAXVL, the compiler figures out the most efficient value.

if the programmer wants to provide MAXVL, they should just use the SVP64 vector
types (e.g. u32(14, 3)), since providing MAXVL or not is the only difference
between them, they are otherwise identical types.
