This was the "easiest" way to support this but I agree this is not
ideal. The vector code is naturally coupled with having support for
"v" and I wanted to leverage that. The other concern is all of the
ifdefs for having V enabled. I can make all of those V or XTHEADVECTOR;
that will increase the surface area of xtheadvector but it is probably
the right(?) way to go.
