+New: compare_and_apply_mask() allows to use a ternary operater idiom with
+VectorizedArray that is based on generating a mask via component-wise
+comparison. Such a computational idiom is useful as an alternative to
+branching whenever the control flow itself would depend on (computed) data
+(which is not possible for vectorized data).
