   ran through the patches, I'll comment on particular code sections, but first 
a question in general: is there a specific reason for doing this method 
transformation?
   ```
   compute_bit_vector(x, 'hll') -> compute_bit_vector_hll(x)
   ```
   while I was reading the qout changes I realized that this rewrite makes this 
patch so huge, and I'm not sure if it's really worth, as I cannot see the added 
value, and I personally don't have any problems with the algorithm as a 
parameter, not the mention the possible fallback to a default maybe?
   ```
   compute_bit_vector(x) -- could be translated to --> 
compute_bit_vector_hll(x, 'hll') 
   ```
   I would consider this, as, without added value, e.g. the backport of this 
patch will be painful, and this patch is about vectorization coverage, and has 
nothing to do with compiler basically, what do you think?
