+# Indexed REMAP
+
+The purpose of Indexing is to provide a generalised version of
+Vector ISA "Permute" instructions, such as VSX `vperm`.  The
+Indexing is abstracted out and may be applied to much more
+than an element move/copy, and is not limited for example
+to the number of bytes that can fit into a VSX register.
+Indexing may be applied to LD/ST (even on Indexed LD/ST
+instructions such as `sv.lbzx`), arithmetic operations,
+extsw: there is no artificial limit.
+
+The only major caveat is that the registers to be used as
+Indices must not be modified by any instruction during
+the time they are used.
