> "`VectorSupport.indexVector()`" is used to compute a vector that contains the index values based on a given vector and a scale value (`i.e. index = vec + iota * scale`). This function is widely used in other APIs like "`VectorMask.indexInRange`" which is useful to the tail loop vectorization. And it can be easily implemented with the vector instructions.
