I understand that I should never have to cast from TypeInfo_Ai to
TypeInfo_Array. That's not what I'm trying to do. I want to cast from TypeInfo
to TypeInfo_Array to see if a type is an array (and then get the value type).

This should be a relatively simple change and would make runtime reflection a
fair bit more powerful -- not in terms of what you can do, perhaps, but
certainly in terms of what information you can gather.

And no, it's *not* an option to try casting to TypeInfo_Ai, then TypeInfo_Aw,
then TypeInfo_Ag, ad nauseum.
