It also appears we've run out of bits for PM_CACHELEN and PM_CHECKEN,
the 19 and 20 bit positions are are now occupied by PM_DONTIMPORT_SUID
and PM_SINGLE, though I suppose PM_KSHSTORED and PM_ZSHSTORED could do
double duty as they won't apply to arrays and functions at once.

With respect to "it doesn't work" -- in commits f4ab07b4 and b7c2ddf6
you say you're adding typeset -C and typeset -c to control PM_CACHELEN
and PM_CHECKLEN but looking at the diffs you only added the argument
parsing; I can't find anywhere that PM_CACHELEN or PM_CHECKLEN are ever
assigned to the parameter flags?

I believe I've now merged params.c ... I tried forcing both of the new
flags on for non-special PM_ARRAY params in createparam(), and all tests
seem to pass except those involving the $match array, which implies one
of us did something wrong in setarrvalue() for post_assignment_length.
I think.
