> This PR contains API and implementation changes for [JEP-414 Vector API > (Second Incubator)](https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/414), in preparation for > when targeted. > > Enhancements are made to the API for the support of operations on characters, > such as for UTF-8 character decoding. Specifically, methods for > loading/storing a `short` vector from/to a `char[]` array, and new vector > comparison operators for unsigned comparisons with integral vectors.

I would like to do that work after integration of > the PR.
