Using RangeError is nice as it allows code to use array index inside

This is the big sticking point -- code that is nothrow would no longer
be able to use AAs. It makes the idea, unfortunately, a non-starter.

Steve, are there not several (probably better, faster) alternatives to
the built-in AA that are nothrow? I think a nice way to look at the
built-in AA is an easy default for quick scripts, new users, etc., much
like the default of `throw` status of a function or code block.
Advanced users, (i.e. those using nothrow annotation) could select a
more efficient AA implementation anyway.
The problem is not the requirement but the resulting code breakage if
you change it now.
