The existing approach to populate local vars doesn't work well with larger scope of split operation, as the slot was allocated on lazily built, but the transfer is captured in advance, this count could mismatch as built time and run time.

Introduce general Snippet interface to `emit` bytecodes.
ElementLoader -> CollectionElementBuilder, which build a Snippet to load the element at index.
With that, snippets are built early for all elements, makes the setup easier to follow.
