The Java *compiler* [ie the source-to-bytecode translator] can't
do this, because there's no unchecked-array-indexing instructions
in the bytecode set.
And if it *could*, the verifier would have to be able to prove
the same things that *that* compiler did in order to accept the
code; which may be infeasible [eg take too long].
A JIT or other bytecode-to-something-faster translator could
do it, of course.
