It seems unlikely that this code pattern is used anywhere (since the code would need to literally syntactically call
svec
and immediately splat the result into another call--as shown above), and it is the last instance of this inference hack we have remaining (after the PartialTuple work). If some package does end up needing it, we can easily reimplement it much better (via adding PartialSimpleVector), but I strongly suspect this is effectively dead-code, and thus not worthwhile to maintain.
