 The encoding for this instruction embeds static predication into the
 swizzle as well as constants 1/1.0 and 0/0.0
 
+Although conceptually similar to `vpermd` of Packed SIMD VSX,
+Swizzle Moves come in immediate-only form with only up to four
+selectors, where VSX refers to individual bytes and may not
+copy constants to the destination.
+3D Shader programs commonly use the letters "XYZW"

+use the letters "RGBA"
