It is a bit sad that we have to bust the doors with internal APIs, and
not use the public API, thus robbing ourselves of the opportunity to
optimize the public API for a wide range of use cases.

Barring that, the patch looks good.

The original check was to guard against Unsafe.allocateUnitializedArray
usage, and so I would like to keep the code that checks the index
unconditionally. asserts can be disabled.
