Research direction

Start by locating the definitions of the Wide* types, including WideF32x4 and WideBoolF32x4, and inspect their inner wide types. Check the Rust Deref trait and existing type implementations, then verify that the affected types coerce to their inner f32x* types without breaking existing behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Could the Wide* types (WideF32x4, WideBoolF32x4, etc...) implement the Deref<Target=f32x*> trait? That way the types would support deref coercion to their inner wide type and usage in a lot of context would be more ergonomic.
