Comment (by goldfire):

 This is an area (arrays in Haskell) I know little about. How does this
 request compare to #9163, asking for `Ptr` to have a phantom role? Perhaps
 the difference is that `Ptr` refers to foreign objects but arrays store
 proper Haskell values? Sorry -- just not terribly familiar over here.
