 The intrinsics in this section have the following properties in common:
 
-*   Every argument named `tile`, `slice_offset` or `tile_mask` must
-    be an integer constant expression in the range of the underlying
-    instruction.
+*   Every argument named `tile` or `tile_mask` must be an integer constant
+    expression in the range of the underlying instruction.
+
+*   Some SME instructions index ZA using the sum of a 32-bit general-purpose
+    register and a constant offset.  Instead of having arguments for the
+    two individual fields, the associated intrinsics have a single
+    32-bit index called `slice` that holds the sum.
+
+*   However, load and store intrinsics that take both a `vnum` parameter
+    and a `slice` parameter add `vnum` to `slice`.  This helps to ensure
+    that the load/store address and ZA index remain balanced, and
+    increases the chances that an immediate offset can be used.
 
 *   ZA loads and stores do not use typed pointers, since there is
     no C or C++ type information associated with the contents of ZA.
