I see.  I think this is not a P1 stuff then and should definitely not
block a release.  I'd rather not promise anything, but I'll add this
to my TODO list and hope I will try to address this for 4.7.

As far as the MEM_REF instead of ARRAY_REF awkwardness is concerned, I
don't feel like discussing merits of the former here but trust me
there are reasons for this.  If you want to have a look for yourself,
compare 4.5 and 4.6 build_ref_for_offset implementations (including
build_ref_for_model in 4.6) and especially their callers (and the
number of them).  And of course there was PR 44972.
