The bar() function is actually buggy code, because tilec is not initialized by amx intrinsics. We want user call amx intrinsic to load/store tile explicitly. Ideally front-end can detect the issue and report error.

Thanks AFAIK in those cases the conversion intrinsic makes sense to use, because you effectively need to convert between 2 types in a non-trivial way. @lebedev.ri WDYT?
