[Vector API] Why to talk about lanes, shapes and species in the API doc?

[Dietmar Lippold]

I have now created a repository and put the three files into it. It is accessible under https://github.com/dlippold/java-hl-vector

Attached I send such an partial implementation of a higher-level class which uses IntVector (named "HighLevelIntVector"), as well as a superclass ("HighLevelVector") and a test class ("HighLevelTest"). These belong to a package named "hlvector". The test class contains the following method:
