There *is* currently target-specific zero-is-undef behaviour in this patch. On second thought I agree - I don't think we should be replicating that.
@efriedma-quic, since you've already approved, would you object to having these builtins unconditionally have zero-is-undef behaviour? What do you think about renaming these builtins as something like `__builtin_elementwise_cttz` (`ctlz`) to avoid the conflation of behaviour with the GCC builtins?
