Thanks for the clarification. I see that the language reference has
already been updated to say that only arrays and structs are
aggregate types, and that vectors aren't.

I wonder whether it's also worth an explicit note in the documentation
for extractvalue, in the section where it lists the differences
between extractvalue indexing and getelementptr indexing? Perhaps
adding a new bullet point that simply says "Indexing into vectors is
not allowed".
