`@bitCast` allowed to cast to/from vectors of pointers

Zig Version

0.12.0-dev.2711+f995c1b08

Steps to Reproduce and Observed Behavior

test {
    _ = @as(@Vector(1, *u8), @bitCast(@Vector(1, usize){1}));
}

this test passes as well as the inverse operation

Expected Behavior

regular pointers cannot be @bitCasted, instead requiring either @ptrFromInt or @intFromPtr, vectors should behave the same

[Vexu]

@Vector(1, *u8) is not generally considered a "pointer type" like ?*u8. If changed it should apply to more places than just @bitCast.

[InKryption]

If changed it should apply to more places than just @bitcast.

Would it make sense to allow dereferencing a @Vector(n, *T) to get a @Vector(n, T)? Is there any hardware support for something of the sort? If so, that might be worth considering as well.
