I assume that if there are multiple vectorlength arguments, then we can depend on the MAX of the arguments? That is, for vectorlength(8,4), then there can be dependencies on MAX(8,4), j - 8, but not j - 4, or j - 2, etc.
Correct. The use of multiple vectorlength arguments is being removed (or at least deprecated) in the next revision of the spec., since it carries no semantic meaning and is not even a very good hint to the compiler.
