Is there any plan to have mask types? Because those comparison instructions would definitely generate masks if they exist.
Typically, AVX512 and SVE comparisons do generate masks and not vectors.
Good point - we would need to balance operations returning masks and operations setting lanes. I am going to add a note documenting this. Masking ops are not forgotten - we would definitely need to evaluate them.
