Comment(by benl):

 So DPH doesn't do array bounds checks because they interfere with
 optimisations. I think in the long term we'll want to provide a Safe API
 as well as an Unsafe one. The idea being that the programmer develops and
 tests their program with the Safe API, before switching to the Unsafe (and
 faster) one.
