You still duplicate the type cache code, but many other array functions do
that too so I will not hold that against you. (Maybe somebody should write
separate patch that would put all that duplicate code into common function?)

I think this patch is ready for committer so I am going to mark it as such.

The documentation in this patch needs some improvements to the
English.  Can anyone help with that?

I'll take a look at it.

The documentation should discuss what happens if the array is multi-dimensional.

The code for array_offset and for array_offset_start appear to be
byte-for-byte identical.  There's no comment explaining why, but I bet
it's to make the opr_sanity test pass.  How about adding a comment?

The comment for array_offset_common refers to array_offset_start as
array_offset_startpos.

I am sure in agreement with the idea that it would be good to factor
out the common typecache code (for setting up my_extra).  Any chance
we get a preliminary patch that does that refactoring, and then rebase
the main patch on top of it?  I agree that it's not really this
patch's job to solve that problem, but it would be nice.

Since this patch is here and ready to go I would prefer that we commit it and refactor later. I can tackle that unless Pavel specifically wants to.
