+This testcase is introduced as we updated a number of our vector load
+built-ins with the attribute of PURE instead of MEM, to indicate that
+those builtins only read from memory, versus reading from and writing
+to the same.
+This means we can identify the redundant load instructions in an earlier
+pass, and optimize them away. */
