+A vector mask is a value that holds one boolean result for every element
+in a vector. This hook returns the machine mode that should be used to
+represent such a mask when the vector in question is @var{length} bytes
+long and contains @var{nunits} elements. The hook returns an empty
+@code{opt_machine_mode} if no such mode exists.

+The default implementation returns the mode of an integer vector that
+is @var{length} bytes long and that contains @var{nunits} elements,
+if such a mode exists.
