Yeah, auto vectorization breaks easily so it's nice to have a touch of safety if I've put the effort in to get it to work.

I've only ever broken it once and in that case it ended up being more costly to format the new data for vectorization than just running it non-vectorized, so it was removed.

Guess I'm one of the few weirdos who uses it! Most uses are on private repos but here are a couple couple of references of it.
