 If all three registers are marked as Vector then the "traditional" predicated Vector behaviour is provided.  Yet, just as before, all other options are still provided, right the way back to the pure-scalar case, as if this were a straight OpenPOWER v3.0B non-augmented instruction.
 
-Predication therefore provides several modes traditionally seen in Vector ISAs, particularly if the predicate may be set conveniently as a single bit: this gives VINSERT (VINDEX) behaviour.  VSPLAT (result broadcasting) is provided by making the sources scalar and the destination a vector.
