I am pretty skeptical of even the original code here, frankly.  Are clients really making stronger promises just because they're compiling with AVX enabled?  Note that the compiler doesn't *do* anything to achieve this; it literally just makes a more aggressive assumption about what the user has done.

It seems to me like the (1) the OpenMP people ought to review this and seriously consider it and (2) this number needs to be available to code in some portable manner, probably via a predefined macro.  Which means it probably ought to be defined in the AST-level TargetInfo.  CC'ing Alexey Bataev.

Please parenthesize this second ||.  It's actually wrong as written: && binds tighter than ||, but you want isNamedArg to apply to both.
