Vector ISA pseudocode encountered the Vector operations were expressed
as a for-loop on a Scalar element
operation, and then both a Scalar **and** a Vector instruction was added.

decades it felt natural to separate the looping at both the ISA and
the Hardware Level
and thus provide only Scalar instructions (instantly halving the number
