  - ### blend

    public abstract LongVector blend(Vector<Long> v, VectorMask<Long> m)
    Replaces selected lanes of this vector with corresponding lanes from a second input vector under the control of a mask. This is a masked lane-wise binary operation which selects each lane value from one or the other input.
    - For any lane set in the mask, the new lane value is taken from the second input vector, and replaces whatever value was in the that lane of this vector.
    - For any lane unset in the mask, the replacement is suppressed and this vector retains the original value stored in that lane.
    The following pseudocode illustrates this behavior:

        Vector<E> a = ...;
        VectorSpecies<E> species = a.species();
        Vector<E> b = ...;
        b.check(species);

            if (m.laneIsSet(i)) {
                ar[i] = b.lane(i);
            }
        }

    Parameters:
      `v` - the second input vector, containing replacement lane values

  - ### addIndex

    public abstract LongVector addIndex(int scale)
    Adds the lanes of this vector to their corresponding lane numbers, scaled by a given constant. This is a lane-wise unary operation which, for each lane `N`, computes the scaled index value `N*scale` and adds it to the value already in lane `N` of the current vector.

    The scale must not be so large, and the element size must not be so small, that there would be an overflow when computing any of the `N*scale` or `VLENGTH*scale`, when the result is represented using the vector lane type `ETYPE`.

    The following pseudocode illustrates this behavior:

        Vector<E> a = ...;
        VectorSpecies<E> species = a.species();
        ETYPE[] ar = a.toArray();
        for (int i = 0; i < ar.length; i++) {
            long d = (long)i * scale;
            if (d != (ETYPE) d)  throw ...;
            ar[i] += (ETYPE) d;
        }
        long d = (long)ar.length * scale;
        if (d != (ETYPE) d)  throw ...;

    Parameters:
      `e` - the input scalar, containing the replacement lane value

      the result of blending the lane elements of this vector with the scalar value

  - ### slice

    public abstract LongVector slice(int origin, Vector<Long> v1)
    Slices a segment of adjacent lanes, starting at a given `origin` lane in the current vector, and continuing (as needed) into an immediately following vector. The block of `VLENGTH` lanes is extracted into its own vector and returned.

    This is a cross-lane operation that shifts lane elements to the front, from the current vector and the second vector. Both vectors can be viewed as a combined "background" of length `2*VLENGTH`, from which a slice is extracted. The lane numbered `N` in the output vector is copied from lane `origin+N` of the input vector, if that lane exists, else from lane `origin+N-VLENGTH` of the second vector (which is guaranteed to exist).

    The `origin` value must be in the inclusive range `0..VLENGTH`. As limiting cases, `v.slice(0,w)` and `v.slice(VLENGTH,w)` return `v` and `w`, respectively.

    Parameters:
      `origin` - the first input lane to transfer into the slice
      `v1` - a second vector logically concatenated with the first, before the slice is taken (if omitted it defaults to zero)
    Returns:
      a contiguous slice of `VLENGTH` lanes, taken from this vector starting at the indicated origin, and continuing (as needed) into the second vector
    See Also:
      - `Vector.slice(int,Vector,VectorMask)`
      - `Vector.slice(int)`
      - `Vector.unslice(int,Vector,int)`

  - ### slice

    public final LongVector slice(int origin, Vector<Long> w, VectorMask<Long> m)
    Slices a segment of adjacent lanes under the control of a mask, starting at a given `origin` lane in the current vector, and continuing (as needed) into an immediately following vector. The block of `VLENGTH` lanes is extracted into its own vector and returned. The resulting vector will be zero in all lanes unset in the given mask. Lanes set in the mask will contain data copied from selected lanes of `this` or `v1`.

    This is a cross-lane operation that shifts lane elements to the front, from the current vector and the second vector. Both vectors can be viewed as a combined "background" of length `2*VLENGTH`, from which a slice is extracted. The returned result is equal to the expression `broadcast(0).blend(slice(origin,v1),m)`.

    Specified by:
      `slice` in class `Vector<Long>`
    Parameters:
      `origin` - the first input lane to transfer into the slice
      `w` - a second vector logically concatenated with the first, before the slice is taken (if omitted it defaults to zero)
      `m` - the mask controlling lane selection into the resulting vector
    Returns:
      a contiguous slice of `VLENGTH` lanes, taken from this vector starting at the indicated origin, and continuing (as needed) into the second vector
    See Also:
      - `Vector.slice(int,Vector)`
      - `Vector.unslice(int,Vector,int,VectorMask)`

  - ### slice

    public abstract LongVector slice(int origin)
    Slices a segment of adjacent lanes, starting at a given `origin` lane in the current vector. A block of `VLENGTH` lanes, possibly padded with zero lanes, is extracted into its own vector and returned. This is a convenience method which slices from a single vector against an extended background of zero lanes. It is equivalent to `slice``(origin,` `broadcast``(0))`. It may also be viewed simply as a cross-lane shift from later to earlier lanes, with zeroes filling in the vacated lanes at the end of the vector. In this view, the shift count is `origin`.
    Parameters:
      `origin` - the first input lane to transfer into the slice
    Returns:
      the last `VLENGTH-origin` input lanes, placed starting in the first lane of the output, padded at the end with zeroes
    See Also:
      - `Vector.slice(int,Vector)`
      - `Vector.unslice(int,Vector,int)`

  - ### unslice

    public abstract LongVector unslice(int origin, Vector<Long> w, int part)
    Reverses a slice(), inserting the current vector as a slice within another "background" input vector, which is regarded as one or the other input to a hypothetical subsequent `slice()` operation.

    This is a cross-lane operation that permutes the lane elements of the current vector toward the back and inserts them into a logical pair of background vectors. Only one of the pair will be returned, however. The background is formed by duplicating the second input vector. (However, the output will never contain two duplicates from the same input lane.) The lane numbered `N` in the input vector is copied into lane `origin+N` of the first background vector, if that lane exists, else into lane `origin+N-VLENGTH` of the second background vector (which is guaranteed to exist). The first or second background vector, updated with the inserted slice, is returned. The `part` number of zero or one selects the first or second updated background vector.

    The `origin` value must be in the inclusive range `0..VLENGTH`. As limiting cases, `v.unslice(0,w,0)` and `v.unslice(VLENGTH,w,1)` both return `v`, while `v.unslice(0,w,1)` and `v.unslice(VLENGTH,w,0)` both return `w`.

    Specified by:
      `unslice` in class `Vector<Long>`
    Parameters:
      `origin` - the first output lane to receive the slice
      `w` - the background vector that (as two copies) will receive the inserted slice
      `part` - the part number of the result (either zero or one)
    Returns:
      either the first or second part of a pair of background vectors `w`, updated by inserting this vector at the indicated origin
    See Also:
      - `Vector.slice(int,Vector)`
      - `Vector.unslice(int,Vector,int,VectorMask)`

  - ### unslice

    public abstract LongVector unslice(int origin, Vector<Long> w, int part, VectorMask<Long> m)
    Reverses a slice(), inserting (under the control of a mask) the current vector as a slice within another "background" input vector, which is regarded as one or the other input to a hypothetical subsequent `slice()` operation.

    This is a cross-lane operation that permutes the lane elements of the current vector forward and inserts its lanes (when selected by the mask) into a logical pair of background vectors. As with the unmasked version of this method, only one of the pair will be returned, as selected by the `part` number. For each lane `N` selected by the mask, the lane value is copied into lane `origin+N` of the first background vector, if that lane exists, else into lane `origin+N-VLENGTH` of the second background vector (which is guaranteed to exist). Background lanes retain their original values if the corresponding input lanes `N` are unset in the mask. The first or second background vector, updated with set lanes of the inserted slice, is returned. The `part` number of zero or one selects the first or second updated background vector.

    Specified by:
      `unslice` in class `Vector<Long>`
    Parameters:
      `origin` - the first output lane to receive the slice
      `w` - the background vector that (as two copies) will receive the inserted slice, if they are set in `m`
      `part` - the part number of the result (either zero or one)
      `m` - the mask controlling lane selection from the current vector
    Returns:
      either the first or second part of a pair of background vectors `w`, updated by inserting selected lanes of this vector at the indicated origin

  - ### unslice

    public abstract LongVector unslice(int origin)
    Reverses a slice(), inserting the current vector as a slice within a "background" input of zero lane values. Compared to other `unslice()` methods, this method only returns the first of the pair of background vectors. This is a convenience method which returns the result of `unslice``(origin,` `broadcast``(0), 0)`. It may also be viewed simply as a cross-lane shift from earlier to later lanes, with zeroes filling in the vacated lanes at the beginning of the vector. In this view, the shift count is `origin`.
    Specified by:
      `unslice` in class `Vector<Long>`
    Parameters:
      `origin` - the first output lane to receive the slice
    Returns:

  - ### rearrange

    public abstract LongVector rearrange(VectorShuffle<Long> shuffle)
    Rearranges the lane elements of this vector, selecting lanes under the control of a specific shuffle. This is a cross-lane operation that rearranges the lane elements of this vector.

    Rearranges the lane elements of this vector, selecting lanes under the control of a specific shuffle and a mask. This is a cross-lane operation that rearranges the lane elements of this vector. For each lane `N` of the shuffle, and for each lane source index `I=s.wrapIndex(s.laneSource(N))` in the shuffle, the output lane `N` obtains the value from the input vector at lane `I` if the mask is set. Otherwise, the output lane `N` is set to zero.

        Vector<E> r = this.rearrange(s);

This is a cross-lane operation that rearranges the lane elements of the two input vectors (the current vector and a second vector `v`). For each lane `N` of the shuffle, and for each lane source index `I=s.laneSource(N)` in the shuffle, the output lane `N` obtains the value from the first vector at lane `I` if `I>=0`. Otherwise, the exceptional index `I` is wrapped by adding `VLENGTH` to it and used to index the second vector, at index `I+VLENGTH`.

    This method returns the value of this pseudocode:

        Vector<E> r1 = this.rearrange(s.wrapIndexes());
        // or else: r1 = this.rearrange(s, s.laneIsValid());
        Vector<E> r2 = v.rearrange(s.wrapIndexes());
        return r2.blend(r1,s.laneIsValid());

    Specified by:
      `rearrange` in class `Vector<Long>`
    Parameters:
      `s` - the shuffle controlling lane selection from both input vectors
      `v` - the second input vector
    Returns:
      the rearrangement of lane elements of this vector and a second input vector

  - ### compress

    public abstract LongVector compress(VectorMask<Long> m)
    Compresses the lane elements of this vector selecting lanes under the control of a specific mask. This is a cross-lane operation that compresses the lane elements of this vector as selected by the specified mask. For each lane `N` of the mask, if the mask at lane `N` is set, the element at lane `N` of input vector is selected and stored into the output vector contiguously starting from the lane `0`. All the upper remaining lanes, if any, of the output vector are set to zero.
    Specified by:
      `compress` in class `Vector<Long>`
    Parameters:
      `m` - the mask controlling the compression
    Returns:
      the compressed lane elements of this vector
    Since:
      19

  - ### expand

    public abstract LongVector expand(VectorMask<Long> m)
    Expands the lane elements of this vector under the control of a specific mask. This is a cross-lane operation that expands the contiguous lane elements of this vector into lanes of an output vector as selected by the specified mask. For each lane `N` of the mask, if the mask at lane `N` is set, the next contiguous element of input vector starting from lane `0` is selected and stored into the output vector at lane `N`. All the remaining lanes, if any, of the output vector are set to zero.
    Specified by:
      `expand` in class `Vector<Long>`
    Parameters:
      `m` - the mask controlling the compression
    Returns:
      the expanded lane elements of this vector
    Since:
      19

  - ### selectFrom

    public abstract LongVector selectFrom(Vector<Long> v)
    Using index values stored in the lanes of this vector, assemble values stored in second vector `v`. The second vector thus serves as a table, whose elements are selected by indexes in the current vector. This is a cross-lane operation that rearranges the lane elements of the argument vector, under the control of this vector. For each lane `N` of this vector, and for each lane value `I=wrapIndex(this.lane(N))` in this vector, the output lane `N` obtains the value from the argument vector at lane `I`. In this way, the result contains only values stored in the argument vector `v`, but presented in an order which depends on the index values in `this`. The result is the same as the expression `v.rearrange(this.toShuffle())`.
    Specified by:
      `selectFrom` in class `Vector<Long>`
    Parameters:
      `v` - the vector supplying the result values
    Returns:
      the rearrangement of the lane elements of `v`
    See Also:
      - `Vector.rearrange(VectorShuffle)`

  - ### selectFrom

    public abstract LongVector selectFrom(Vector<Long> s, VectorMask<Long> m)
    Using index values stored in the lanes of this vector, assemble values stored in second vector, under the control of a mask. Using index values stored in the lanes of this vector, assemble values stored in second vector `v`. The second vector thus serves as a table, whose elements are selected by indexes in the current vector. Lanes that are unset in the mask receive a zero rather than a value from the table. This is a cross-lane operation that rearranges the lane elements of the argument vector, under the control of this vector and the mask. The result is the same as the expression `v.rearrange(this.toShuffle(), m)`.
    Specified by:
      `selectFrom` in class `Vector<Long>`
    Parameters:
      `s` - the vector supplying the result values
      `m` - the mask controlling selection from `v`
    Returns:
      the rearrangement of the lane elements of `v`
    See Also:
      - `Vector.selectFrom(Vector)`
      - `Vector.rearrange(VectorShuffle,VectorMask)`

  - ### selectFrom

    public abstract LongVector selectFrom(Vector<Long> v1, Vector<Long> v2)
    Using values stored in the lanes of this vector, assemble values stored in the second vector `v1` and third vector `v2`. The second and third vectors thus serve as a table, whose elements are selected by indexes in this vector. This is a cross-lane operation that rearranges the lane elements of the argument vectors, under the control of this vector. For each lane `N` of this vector, and for each lane value `I=wrapIndex(this.lane(N)` in this vector, the output lane `N` obtains the value from the second vector at lane `I` if `I < VLENGTH`. Otherwise, the output lane `N` obtains the value from the third vector at lane `I - VLENGTH`. Here, `VLENGTH` is the result of `this.length()`, and for integral values `wrapIndex` computes the result of `Math.floorMod(E, 2 * VLENGTH)`, where `E` is the index to be wrapped. As long as `VLENGTH` is a power of two, then the result is also equal to `E & (2 * VLENGTH - 1)`. For floating point values `wrapIndex` computes `Math.floorMod(convert(E), 2 * VLENGTH)`, where `convert` converts the floating point value to an integral value with the same number of representational bits - as in converting a double value to a long value (`(long)doubleVal`), or a float value to an int value (`(int)floatVal`). In this way, the result contains only values stored in the argument vectors `v1` and `v2`, but presented in an order which depends on the index values in `this`. The result for integral values is the same as the expression

        v1.rearrange(
        this.lanewise(VectorOperators.AND, 2 * VLENGTH - 1).toShuffle(),
        v2)

    when `VLENGTH` is a power of two. The lane-wise `AND` operation results in a vector whose elements are in the range `[0, 2 * VLENGTH - 1])`. The shuffle conversion results in a partially wrapped shuffle whose indexes are in the range `[-VLENGTH, VLENGTH - 1])`, where exceptional indexes are used to select elements in the third vector.
    Specified by:
      `selectFrom` in class `Vector<Long>`
    Parameters:
      `v1` - the first input vector
      `v2` - the second input vector
    Returns:
      the rearrangement of lane elements of `v1` and `v2`
    See Also:
      - `Vector.rearrange(VectorShuffle,Vector)`

  - ### bitwiseBlend

    public final LongVector bitwiseBlend(Vector<Long> bits, Vector<Long> mask)
    Blends together the bits of two vectors under the control of a third, which supplies mask bits.

  - ### reduceLanes

    public abstract long reduceLanes(VectorOperators.Associative op)
    Returns a value accumulated from all the lanes of this vector. This is an associative cross-lane reduction operation which applies the specified operation to all the lane elements.

    A few reduction operations do not support arbitrary reordering of their operands, yet are included here because of their usefulness.

    - In the case of `FIRST_NONZERO`, the reduction returns the value from the lowest-numbered non-zero lane.
    - All other reduction operations are fully commutative and associative. The implementation can choose any order of processing, yet it will always produce the same result.
    Parameters:
      `op` - the operation used to combine lane values
    Returns:
      the accumulated result
    Throws:
      `UnsupportedOperationException` - if this vector does not support the requested operation

  - ### reduceLanes

    public abstract long reduceLanes(VectorOperators.Associative op, VectorMask<Long> m)
    Returns a value accumulated from selected lanes of this vector, controlled by a mask. This is an associative cross-lane reduction operation which applies the specified operation to the selected lane elements.

    If no elements are selected, an operation-specific identity value is returned.

    - If the operation is `ADD`, `XOR`, `OR`, or `FIRST_NONZERO`, then the identity value is zero, the default `long` value.
    - If the operation is `MUL`, then the identity value is one.
    - If the operation is `AND`, then the identity value is minus one (all bits set).
    - If the operation is `MAX`, then the identity value is `Long.MIN_VALUE`.
    - If the operation is `MIN`, then the identity value is `Long.MAX_VALUE`.

    A few reduction operations do not support arbitrary reordering of their operands, yet are included here because of their usefulness.

    - In the case of `FIRST_NONZERO`, the reduction returns the value from the lowest-numbered non-zero lane.
    - All other reduction operations are fully commutative and associative. The implementation can choose any order of processing, yet it will always produce the same result.

  - ### withLane

    public abstract LongVector withLane(int i, long e)
    Replaces the lane element of this vector at lane index `i` with value `e`. This is a cross-lane operation and behaves as if it returns the result of blending this vector with an input vector that is the result of broadcasting `e` and a mask that has only one lane set at lane index `i`.
    Parameters:
      `i` - the lane index of the lane element to be replaced
      `e` - the value to be placed
    Returns:
      the result of replacing the lane element of this vector at lane index `i` with value `e`.

  - ### toArray

    public final long[] toArray()
    Returns an array of type `long[]` containing all the lane values. The array length is the same as the vector length. The array elements are stored in lane order.

If any vector lane value is not representable as an `int`, an exception is thrown.
    Specified by:
      `toIntArray` in class `Vector<Long>`
    Returns:
      an `int[]` array containing the lane values of this vector

    Returns a `long[]` array containing all the lane values, converted to the type `long`. The array length is the same as the vector length. The array elements are converted as if by casting and stored in lane order. This operation may fail if the vector element type is `float` or `double`, when lanes contain fractional or out-of-range values. If any vector lane value is not representable as a `long`, an exception is thrown. This is an alias for `toArray()` When this method is used on vectors of type `LongVector`, there will be no loss of range or precision.
    Specified by:

  - ### fromArray

    public static LongVector fromArray(VectorSpecies<Long> species, long[] a, int offset, int[] indexMap, int mapOffset)
    Gathers a new vector composed of elements from an array of type `long[]`, using indexes obtained by adding a fixed `offset` to a series of secondary offsets from an index map. The index map is a contiguous sequence of `VLENGTH` elements in a second array of `int`s, starting at a given `mapOffset`.

    For each vector lane, where `N` is the vector lane index, the lane is loaded from the array element `a[f(N)]`, where `f(N)` is the index mapping expression `offset + indexMap[mapOffset + N]]`.

    Parameters:

      - `toIntArray()`

  - ### fromArray

    public static LongVector fromArray(VectorSpecies<Long> species, long[] a, int offset, int[] indexMap, int mapOffset, VectorMask<Long> m)
    Gathers a new vector composed of elements from an array of type `long[]`, under the control of a mask, and using indexes obtained by adding a fixed `offset` to a series of secondary offsets from an index map. The index map is a contiguous sequence of `VLENGTH` elements in a second array of `int`s, starting at a given `mapOffset`.

    For each vector lane, where `N` is the vector lane index, if the lane is set in the mask, the lane is loaded from the array element `a[f(N)]`, where `f(N)` is the index mapping expression `offset + indexMap[mapOffset + N]]`. Unset lanes in the resulting vector are set to zero.

    Parameters:
      `species` - species of desired vector
      `a` - the array
      `offset` - the offset into the array, may be negative if relative indexes in the index map compensate to produce a value within the array bounds

  - ### fromMemorySegment

    public static LongVector fromMemorySegment(VectorSpecies<Long> species, MemorySegment ms, long offset, ByteOrder bo)
    Loads a vector from a memory segment starting at an offset into the memory segment. Bytes are composed into primitive lane elements according to the specified byte order. The vector is arranged into lanes according to memory ordering.

    This method behaves as if it returns the result of calling `fromMemorySegment()` as follows:

        var m = species.maskAll(true);
        return fromMemorySegment(species, ms, offset, bo, m);

    Parameters:
      `species` - species of desired vector
      `ms` - the memory segment
      `offset` - the offset into the memory segment
      `bo` - the intended byte order
    Returns:
      a vector loaded from the memory segment
    Throws:
      `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - if `offset+N*8 < 0` or `offset+N*8 >= ms.byteSize()` for any lane `N` in the vector
      `IllegalStateException` - if the memory segment's session is not alive, or if access occurs from a thread other than the thread owning the session.
    Since:
      19

  - ### fromMemorySegment

    public static LongVector fromMemorySegment(VectorSpecies<Long> species, MemorySegment ms, long offset, ByteOrder bo, VectorMask<Long> m)
    Loads a vector from a memory segment starting at an offset into the memory segment and using a mask. Lanes where the mask is unset are filled with the default value of `long` (zero). Bytes are composed into primitive lane elements according to the specified byte order. The vector is arranged into lanes according to memory ordering.

    The following pseudocode illustrates the behavior:

        var slice = ms.asSlice(offset);
        long[] ar = new long[species.length()];
        for (int n = 0; n < ar.length; n++) {
            if (m.laneIsSet(n)) {
                ar[n] = slice.getAtIndex(ValuaLayout.JAVA_LONG.withByteAlignment(1), n);
            }
        }
        LongVector r = LongVector.fromArray(species, ar, 0);

    Implementation Note:
      This operation is likely to be more efficient if the specified byte order is the same as the platform native order, since this method will not need to reorder the bytes of lane values.
    Parameters:
      `species` - species of desired vector
      `ms` - the memory segment
      `offset` - the offset into the memory segment
      `bo` - the intended byte order
      `m` - the mask controlling lane selection
    Returns:
      a vector loaded from the memory segment
    Throws:
      `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - if `offset+N*8 < 0` or `offset+N*8 >= ms.byteSize()` for any lane `N` in the vector where the mask is set
      `IllegalStateException` - if the memory segment's session is not alive, or if access occurs from a thread other than the thread owning the session.
    Since:
      19

  - ### intoArray

    public final void intoArray(long[] a, int offset)
    Stores this vector into an array of type `long[]` starting at an offset.

    For each vector lane, where `N` is the vector lane index, the lane element at index `N` is stored into the array element `a[offset+N]`.

    Parameters:
      `a` - the array, of type `long[]`
      `offset` - the offset into the array
    Throws:
      `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - if `offset+N < 0` or `offset+N >= a.length` for any lane `N` in the vector

  - ### intoArray

    public final void intoArray(long[] a, int offset, VectorMask<Long> m)
    Stores this vector into an array of type `long[]` starting at offset and using a mask.

    For each vector lane, where `N` is the vector lane index, the lane element at index `N` is stored into the array element `a[offset+N]`. If the mask lane at `N` is unset then the corresponding array element `a[offset+N]` is left unchanged.

    Array range checking is done for lanes where the mask is set. Lanes where the mask is unset are not stored and do not need to correspond to legitimate elements of `a`. That is, unset lanes may correspond to array indexes less than zero or beyond the end of the array.

    Parameters:
      `a` - the array, of type `long[]`

  - ### convert

    public final <F> Vector<F> convert(VectorOperators.Conversion<Long,F> conv, int part)
    Convert this vector to a vector of the same shape and a new element type, converting lane values from the current `ETYPE` to a new lane type (called `FTYPE` here) according to the indicated conversion. This is a lane-wise shape-invariant operation which copies `ETYPE` values from the input vector to corresponding `FTYPE` values in the result. Depending on the selected conversion, this operation may either expand or contract its logical result, in which case a non-zero `part` number can further control the selection and steering of the logical result into the physical output vector.

    Each specific conversion is described by a conversion constant in the class `VectorOperators`. Each conversion operator has a specified domain type and range type. The domain type must exactly match the lane type of the input vector, while the range type determines the lane type of the output vectors.

    A conversion operator may be classified as (respectively) in-place, expanding, or contracting, depending on whether the bit-size of its domain type is (respectively) equal, less than, or greater than the bit-size of its range type.

    Independently, conversion operations can also be classified as reinterpreting or value-transforming, depending on whether the conversion copies representation bits unchanged, or changes the representation bits in order to retain (part or all of) the logical value of the input value.

    If a reinterpreting conversion contracts, it will truncate the upper bits of the input. If it expands, it will pad upper bits of the output with zero bits, when there are no corresponding input bits.

    An expanding conversion such as `S2I` (`short` value to `int`) takes a scalar value and represents it in a larger format (always with some information redundancy). A contracting conversion such as `D2F` (`double` value to `float`) takes a scalar value and represents it in a smaller format (always with some information loss). Some in-place conversions may also include information loss, such as `L2D` (`long` value to `double`) or `F2I` (`float` value to `int`). Reinterpreting in-place conversions are not lossy, unless the bitwise value is somehow not legal in the output type. Converting the bit-pattern of a `NaN` may discard bits from the `NaN`'s significand.

    This classification is important, because, unless otherwise documented, conversion operations never change vector shape, regardless of how they may change lane sizes. Therefore, an expanding conversion cannot store all of its results in its output vector, because the output vector has fewer lanes of larger size, in order to have the same overall bit-size as its input. Likewise, a contracting conversion must store its relatively small results into a subset of the lanes of the output vector, defaulting the unused lanes to zero.

    As an example, a conversion from `byte` to `long` (`M=8`) will discard 87.5% of the input values in order to convert the remaining 12.5% into the roomy `long` lanes of the output vector. The inverse conversion will convert back all the large results, but will waste 87.5% of the lanes in the output vector. In-place conversions (`M=1`) deliver all of their results in one output vector, without wasting lanes.

    To manage the details of these expansions and contractions, a non-zero `part` parameter selects partial results from expansions, or steers the results of contractions into corresponding locations, as follows:

    - expanding by `M`: `part` must be in the range `[0..M-1]`, and selects the block of `VLENGTH/M` input lanes starting at the origin lane at `part*VLENGTH/M`.

      The `VLENGTH/M` output lanes represent a partial slice of the whole logical result of the conversion, filling the entire physical output vector.

    - contracting by `M`: `part` must be in the range `[-M+1..0]`, and steers all `VLENGTH` input lanes into the output located at the origin lane `-part*VLENGTH`. There is a total of `VLENGTH*M` output lanes, and those not holding converted input values are filled with zeroes.

      A group of such output vectors, with logical result parts steered to disjoint blocks, can be reassembled using the bitwise or or (for floating point) the `FIRST_NONZERO` operator.

    - in-place (`M=1`): `part` must be zero. Both vectors have the same `VLENGTH`. The result is always positioned at the origin lane of zero.

    This method is a restricted version of the more general but less frequently used shape-changing method `convertShape()`. The result of this method is the same as the expression `this.convertShape(conv, rsp, this.broadcast(part))`, where the output species is `rsp=this.species().withLanes(FTYPE.class)`.

    Specified by:
      `convert` in class `Vector<E>`
    Type Parameters:
      `F` - the boxed element type of the species
    Parameters:
      `conv` - the desired scalar conversion to apply lane-wise
      `part` - the part number of the result, or zero if neither expanding nor contracting
    Returns:
      a vector converted by shape and element type from this vector

  - ### castShape

    public final <F> Vector<F> castShape(VectorSpecies<F> toSpecies, int part)
    Convenience method for converting a vector from one lane type to another, reshaping as needed when lane sizes change. This method returns the value of this expression: `convertShape(conv,rsp,part)`, where `conv` is `VectorOperators.Conversion.ofCast(E.class,F.class)`.

    If the old and new species have different shape, this is a shape-changing operation, and may have special implementation costs.

    Specified by:
      `castShape` in class `Vector<E>`
    Type Parameters:
      `F` - the boxed element type of the output species
    Parameters:
      `toSpecies` - the desired output species
      `part` - the part number of the result, or zero if neither expanding nor contracting
    Returns:
      a vector converted by element type from this vector
    See Also:
      - `VectorOperators.Conversion.ofCast(Class,Class)`
      - `Vector.convertShape(VectorOperators.Conversion,VectorSpecies,int)`

  - ### convertShape

    public abstract <F> Vector<F> convertShape(VectorOperators.Conversion<Long,F> conv, VectorSpecies<F> rsp, int part)
    Converts this vector to a vector of the given species, shape and element type, converting lane values from the current `ETYPE` to a new lane type (called `FTYPE` here) according to the indicated conversion. This is a lane-wise operation which copies `ETYPE` values from the input vector to corresponding `FTYPE` values in the result.

    If the old and new species have the same shape, the behavior is exactly the same as the simpler, shape-invariant method `convert()`. In such cases, the simpler method `convert()` should be used, to make code easier to reason about. Otherwise, this is a shape-changing operation, and may have special implementation costs.

    As a combined effect of shape changes and lane size changes, the input and output species may have different lane counts, causing expansion or contraction. In this case a non-zero `part` parameter selects partial results from an expanded logical result, or steers the results of a contracted logical result into a physical output vector of the required output species.

    The following pseudocode illustrates the behavior of this method for in-place, expanding, and contracting conversions. (This pseudocode also applies to the shape-invariant method, but with shape restrictions on the output species.) Note that only one of the three code paths is relevant to any particular combination of conversion operator and shapes.

        FTYPE scalar_conversion_op(ETYPE s);
        EVector a = ...;
        VectorSpecies<F> rsp = ...;
        int part = ...;

        int domlen = dsp.length();
        int ranlen = rsp.length();
        FTYPE[] logical = new FTYPE[domlen];
        for (int i = 0; i < domlen; i++) {
          logical[i] = scalar_conversion_op(a.lane(i));
        }
        FTYPE[] physical;
        if (domlen == ranlen) { // in-place
            assert part == 0; //else AIOOBE
            physical = logical;
        } else if (domlen > ranlen) { // expanding
            int M = domlen / ranlen;
            assert 0 <= part && part < M; //else AIOOBE
            int origin = part * ranlen;
            physical = Arrays.copyOfRange(logical, origin, origin + ranlen);
        } else { // (domlen < ranlen) // contracting
            int M = ranlen / domlen;
            assert 0 >= part && part > -M; //else AIOOBE
            int origin = -part * domlen;
            System.arraycopy(logical, 0, physical, origin, domlen);
        }
        return FVector.fromArray(ran, physical, 0);
