-/// This pattern converts the ExtractOp to a ShuffleOp that works on a
-/// linearized vector.
-/// Following,
-///   vector.extract %source [ position ]
-/// is converted to :
-///   %source_1d = vector.shape_cast %source
-///   %out_1d = vector.shuffle %source_1d, %source_1d [ shuffle_indices_1d ]
-///   %out_nd = vector.shape_cast %out_1d
-/// `shuffle_indices_1d` is computed using the position of the original extract.
+/// This pattern linearizes `vector.extract` operations. It generates a 1-D
+/// version of the `vector.extract` operation when extracting a scalar from a
+/// vector. It generates a 1-D `vector.shuffle` operation when extracting a
+/// subvector from a larger vector.
+///
+/// Example #1:
+///
+///     %0 = vector.extract %arg0[1]: vector<8x2xf32> from vector<2x8x2xf32>
+///
+///   is converted to:
+///
+///     %0 = vector.shape_cast %arg0 : vector<2x8x2xf32> to vector<32xf32>
+///     %1 = vector.shuffle %0, %0 [16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23,
+///                                 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31] :
+///            vector<32xf32>, vector<32xf32>
+///     %2 = vector.shape_cast %1 : vector<16xf32> to vector<8x2xf32>
+///
+/// Example #2:
+///
+///     %0 = vector.extract %arg0[1, 2] : i32 from vector<2x4xi32>
+///
+///   is converted to:

+///     %0 = vector.shape_cast %arg0 : vector<2x4xi32> to vector<8xi32>
