to reduce the number of cast<>'s we have. This allows someone to use
things like Ty->getVectorNumElements() instead of
cast<VectorType>(Ty)->getNumElements() when you know that a type is a
vector.
It would be a great general cleanup to move the codebase to use these,
I will do so in the code I'm touching.
