Can you comment on this?   You’ve argued for keeping the vectorisation code in, but is this particular data constructor in VectDecl used?

Subject: HsVectInstIn is dead code?

If I grep through the GHC source, or do a github search[1]
It seems that HsVectInst exists, and can be renamed, typechecked, zonked, desugared.

But it does not get parse, and does not appear to be introduced in any other way.

Am I missing something? Should it be deleted (as hinted at in one of the comments?)
