Quick follow-up on this.  What about using "undef" as the input for
false items:

tv1 = select mask, v1, undef
tv2 = select mask, v2, undef
tv3 = div tv1, tv2
v3 = select mask, tv3, undef

I'm always confused about the semantics of undef.  Is the above safe
code?  It would simplify things a bit not to have to track which input
values are safe based on the context of an operation.
