Following our discussion on the cfe dev list

a paragraph that is explicit about transformation options implying
the corresponding transformation.

 distribution. Loop hints can be specified before any loop and will be ignored if
 the optimization is not safe to apply.
 
+There are loop hints that control transformations (e.g. vectorization, loop
+unrolling) and there loop hints that set transformation options (e.g.
+``vectorize_width``, ``unroll_count``).  Pragmas setting transformation options
+imply the transformation is enabled, as if it was enabled via the corresponding
+transformation pragma (e.g. ``vectorize(enable)``). If the transformation is
+disabled  (e.g. ``vectorize(disable)``), that takes precedence over
+transformations option pragmas implying that transformation.
