Comment(by tibbe):

 I'm interested in getting something working first (i.e. a version of
 `newArray#` that allocates inline). We can then see what we can do about
 merging heap checks. Which code tackles merging these checks? The
 optimization seems similar to floating plus constant folding/conditional
 merging to me.
