Good point, thank you. I made this change and pushed the patch below. > As a separate issue, can we settle on a consistent use of "elementwise" > vs "element-wise" and "bitwise" vs "bit-wise" (and possibly some other > similar things) throughout the GCC documentation?

You're my oracle for English language questions, so, yes, we can settle this. :-) > I suggest a separate patch for this cleanup. I'm not sure whether this was an announcement or request, and will go ahead with that next.
