Bug 16697 – Extend IsExpression to accept __vector as a TypeSpecialization

https://dlang.org/spec/expression.html#TypeSpecialization Add __vector to the list of TypeSpecialization's. When used: is (__vector(float[4]) == __vector) will return true, is (__vector(float[4]) A == __vector) will set A to float[4]. This can be done with: is (__vector(float[4]) == __vector(T[N]), T, size_t N) alias A = T[N]; but is a bit noisy. The need for this comes up with templates specialized to work with vectors.
