Sorry.  ;-)

I meant can we represent all "locations" (using SVals) for the cases  
that would be most interesting for array bounds checking?  At this  
point I think the answer is no, since we don't have a location that  
represents a "base" + "offset", where the base is a location (i.e., a  
MemRegion) and offset is an index off of that base.  Currently we drop  
all pointer arithmetic operations on the floor, so we haven't had to  
reason about such things yet.
