A compiler change disallowing such use of arrays was done and then

haven't followed things closely enough to give you a good summary.
Basically, almost everyone wanted the change, but it broke some of
Andrei and Vladamir's code, because they were actually relying on the
current behavior (which most everyone thinks is error-prone), and that
convinced Walter that it wasn't worth the code breakage. So, it was
reverted.
