+    Implementing this interface establishes a contract between this type and the
+    vector type, indicating that this type can be used as element of vectors.
+
+    Vector element types are treated as a bag of bits without any assumed
+    structure. The size of an element type must be constant, but it does not
+    necessarily have to be a compile-time constant.

How about:
```cpp
The size of an element type must be a compile-time constant. However, the bit-width may remain opaque or unavailable during transformations that do not depend on the element type.
```
