Hi Rosen,

thanks for your patch!

I have applied the patch with the following augmentation:

I think this has been mentioned before?

Including a counter for dynamic arrays makes it possible for the
compiler to insert runtime checks akin to those that are used for
Pascal or Rust arrays making it harder for the arrays to be indexed
out of range.
