RFC: Enable vectorization of call instructions in the loop vectorizer

[James Molloy]

Hi,

"getTransformedFunction()"? That way it's obvious that it's doing *something*, but not tied to vectorization or scalarization and suggests the user looks at the doxygen...

Very reasonable, although I think the new name "getFunction" is ambiguous. I'd like to keep it as "getVectorizedFunction", but with a large note in the doxygen that if VF == 1, it scalarizes. Same for getVectorizedCall().

I agree it's ambiguous, but calling getVectorizedFunction to get a scalar function is worse, I think... :/

Though I can't think of a better name... If anyone else has a good idea...

I know it's a bit irrelevant, so I'm not strongly bound to it. If others think this is ok, I'm ok with it, too.

cheers,
