2+3/14,
Well, even that C source, you'd need to be careful and ensure that the
vectorized loop never went round more than once, or else the additions within
the loop would be performed in 8 bits, different from the final reduction...

reduce, and the result; thus allowing platforms to provide a widening reduction.
However, I'm keeping reduc_[us](min|max)_optab with only a single mode, as
widening makes no sense there.
I've not gone as far as ma
