No. accessing uchar4 arrays would generate compiler error if you're not
using the extension, eg __local uchar4 arr[4];arr[1]=(1,2,3,4) would not
compile without the extension. Otherwise I believe you can have __private
uchar4 non-array variables and access them. But for RAR kernel you'd have
to use an ucharN array anyway.
