To be clear, Part could be used on a SwizzledSimdValue (by treating it as a
generic SimdSignal), it just can't be done without a separate class like
PartitionedDynamicShift, unlike Cat and Slice.

The above only applies to dynamic Parts; static Parts can be easily done by
just calling Slice, which gains all the SwizzledSimdValue benefits.
