I assume we can go ahead now.

Here's a revised patch based on my review upthread:

You then wrote:

"Should this line check that «v->pm->gsu.a.setfn == arrsetfn»?

Should this line check that «pm->ename == NULL» [since arrsetfn()
handles such arrays specially]?"

I think both propositions are good, especially the ename check – activated when parameter is being automatically exported – if I understand correctly. You could fix this by including code activated in the normal setter when ename is not null – like Peter did with string optimization. This way auto-exported arrays will still be optimized.
