int array[10];
int victim = 42;
array[11] = -1;

i think victim should come before array for this to happen.

When allocating a new uninitialized ooc array, what value is in the slots ?

The underlying c: shouldn't there be 3 or 4 fields, i'm missing an
'elementSize' and possibly a 'stride', a 'capacity' field may also
make sense if arrays are mutable in length.

Does the no alliasing rule hold ? if you can do an 'as Int*' ?

Do arrays allow copyless slicing ? iterators ? inheritence ? maybe add
a basetype below Int[] like Array<T> that supports the api and allows
for non arrays to get close to the api.
