     A very problematic statement indeed. You can't reference an instance from
     an array of instances in anything like the same manner as an element of an
     array of regs. In particular, you can't use non-constant indices for an
     instance in an array of instances. They aren't really arrays, since each
     instance can have different characteristics from the others.
     
     The standard does not document this.
