You mean the issue being "same thing there"?  I can confirm that
(I've stumbled upon) the same issue being there (i.e. similarly
applies to scalars).  But nope, there's no cross-reference, so
the effective wording needs to be added there too.  I also
noticed the parameter/s misleadingly being keyed to "vec" and
fill-paragraphed the paragraph.  Something like this seems
obvious:

(Oops, noticed gcc@ was in CC, changing to gcc-patches@.)
