        <pre>It seems many uses of a type based on ext_vector_type are not suitable for use
in a constexpr, for example:

typedef float __attribute__((ext_vector_type(4))) float4;

constexpr float4 MultiplyByTwo(float4 x)
{
  return x * 2.0f; 
}

main.cpp:3:18: error: constexpr function never produces a constant expression
[-Winvalid-constexpr]

constexpr float4 MultiplyByTwo(float4 x)
                 ^
main.cpp:5:12: note: subexpression not valid in a constant expression

  return x * 2.0f; 
           ^
