As a note to whomever fixes this, the sparseness of the Array PMC is its
only remaining useful feature. Fixing freeze/thaw/visit is valuable
because it will make implementing sparseness in
{Fixed|Resizable}{PMC|Integer|Boolean|Float|String}Array easier. Once
those PMCs are sparse, the Array PMC can go away.
