+Early Exit Vectorization
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+When vectorizing a loop with a single early exit, the loop blocks following the
+early exit are predicated and the vector loop will always exit via the latch.
+If the early exit has been taken, the vector loop's successor block
+(``middle.split`` below) branches to the early exit block. Otherwise
+``middle.block`` selects between the exit block from the latch or the scalar
+remainder loop.
