Summary:
Getelementptr has vector type if any of its operands are vectors
(the scalar operands being implicitly broadcast to all vector elements).
Extractelement applied to a vector getelementptr can be folded by
applying the extractelement in turn to all of the vector operands.

Summary:
Getelementptr returns a vector of pointers, instead of a single address,
when one or more of its arguments is a vector. In such case it is not
possible to simplify the expression by inserting a bitcast of operand(0)
into the destination type, as it will create a bitcast between different
sizes.
