They will still need an array descriptor, won't they?  So I don't think this
will be the case, as the code there is meant to do the correct thing with
array descriptors IIUC.

I don't understand how pushing this backwards will help you deal with the
array case.  Can you agree on making either the first two ifs an if-else or on
clarifying the comment before the first if, as it is currently not true given
that scalar CHARACTERs are dealt with separately?  I just don't want this code
to become even more difficult to parse than it currently is.
