Hmm. If a user inputs anything greater than 256, then won't it get
silently reduced to 256?

Here it's pointed out that the default may be reduced, but it implies that
that only happens if an sve<N> property is also given. Won't users wonder
why they're only getting vectors that are 256 bytes large even when they
ask for more?

Thanks,
