The SIMD polyfill for the splat and with* functions coerces the scalar arguments to the SIMD element type, so that e.g. SIMD.float32x4.splat(undefined) returns a vector with all NaNs. However, the SpiderMonkey implementations throw a TypeError if the scalar arguments are not numbers:

js> SIMD.int32x4.splat(undefined)
typein:14:0 TypeError: invalid arguments
js> SIMD.float32x4.splat(undefined)
typein:15:0 TypeError: invalid arguments

js> SIMD.int32x4.withY(SIMD.int32x4(2,2,2,2), undefined)
typein:1:0 TypeError: invalid arguments
js> SIMD.float32x4.withY(SIMD.float32x4(2,2,2,2), undefined)
typein:1:0 TypeError: invalid arguments

This is also inconsistent with the 4-argument constructor functions, which currently do coerce their scalar arguments.

Coercing the arguments seems to me to be more idiomatic than throwing a TypeError, for these functions, however I'm open to other opinions.
Looks reasonable to me.  I need to check the behavior in Odin as well.

Also factors out the with tests.  And adds tests for splat, which were not
existing (!).

How about:
  return CheckSimdScalarArgs(formalSimdType_)(f, arg, argIndex, actualType, def);
?

Sorry for the late response here. It'll still be a few days until I get to this, so if waiting for that would be annoying, you should shift the review to someone else. (I'm happy to do it then, though.)

Have SIMD shifts + splat + with functions apply ToInt32 to their scalar arguments

That was a small change indeed. Sorry again for the delay.

I'd just do `if (!ToNumber(cx, v, &d)) return false`, but uber-nit, so up to you.

Not that I care much, but I think SpiderMonkey-style is to always use braces for ctors.

Uber-nit: dot missing at the end.

Same nit as in shifts.js.

Same here.

Thanks for the review comments! The toType code was dating from an age where I would be reusing the return value of ToNumber at the end of the function...
