We would then add a trap when parsing the array access. However, this requires rather invasive changes for this edge case and it wouldn't make much sense because even though type flow analysis would continue, we would add a trap when parsing `_ldc` anyway if the constant is not loaded:

Thanks for the review Vladimir!
