What's the difference between the "enforce" vector API expansion option and "enable" vector API expansion option?

enforceVectorAPIExpansion works when VectorAPIExpansion is enabled and enables some temporary work-arounds to make expansion happen more often. enableVectorAPIExpansion will enable expansion on platforms it might be disabled on by default.

Both are temporary options. But I would say enableVectorAPIExpansion is more likely to be removed in the future, since all platforms will have it on by default.
