Multidimensional doesn't make any difference. The descriptor is used for

Oh! you mean PR16898?
Even with your patch, don't *b and param.9 have different types? In which case
couldn't the problem still occur, even if the data fields happen to have the
same type? It might not occur now, but I guess it could if we start passing
alias information down from trees to rtl.
