Actually GDC and LDC are capable of generating optimal code for scalar to
vector assignment.
auto foo(float a)
{
__vector(float[4]) va = void;
va = 2 * a;
return va;
}

It's not helpful that dmd currently disallows this assignment
because it promotes usage of 'vec.array = val' which uses the stack.
Of course one could write a library wrapper but isn't it much
better to leave this to the compiler?
