Description

Problem*

Resolves #8750

Summary*

It's not clear how we'll support this in the future so let's ban any dynamic indexing of arrays which have reference elements. We can always lift this later when we're able. Since this panics at the moment it is not expected to break existing code.

Additional Context

This does not fix #8779 since the array get is optimized out beforehand there.

Documentation*

Check one:

  • No documentation needed.
  • Documentation included in this PR.
  • [For Experimental Features] Documentation to be submitted in a separate PR.

PR Checklist*

  • I have tested the changes locally.
  • I have formatted the changes with Prettier and/or cargo fmt on default settings.
