1) CheckAssignmentOperands doesn't reject the compound statement if we return 
the vector type instead, because it already supports vector to scalar cast 
idiom. It makes more sense to return a vector indeed, gonna change that.

2) It would be nice to catch up with GCC with the idioms supported for regular 
(non-ext) vectors (like splatting scalar operands to vectors in a arith 
binops), and those, AFAIK, don't include support for truncation as in the 
example you suggested. I guess this is supported with ext-vectors, but I don't 
see any reason to support it for "regular" vectors.
