+   ``%ptrs = <%ptr, %ptr + %stride, %ptr + 2 * %stride, ... >``,

----------------
The `stride` can have a different number of bits than the `ptr`.
To make the definition unambiguous, we should mention that the `stride` is always interpreted as a signed integer and all arithmetic occurs in the pointer type.
This implies that an over-sized `stride` is truncated and a less-bits-than-the-address `stride` is always sign extended to the address type.
