This sounds like a nice approach.
My only question is how it handles the length field of an array.

Object[].length and Foo[].length can alias.
But int[].length and Object[].length cannot.

Similarly for the interior of arrays.

Maybe we could squeeze out some tiny percentage improvement by taking
this into account too?
