Comment (by anevilyak):
I meant to indicate this earlier: one caveat to the above is that
currently, the adjust ranges feature uses the type's indicated bounds as
the upper/lower bound for what ranges the user is allowed to enter. Ergo,
for an array type with 10 elements, the adjustable range would self limit
to only accepting elements within indices 0-9. For the case where the
actual number of elements is smaller, this is fine, but if the true size
is larger it'd presently require actually using the full Cast As feature
to specify the larger array dimension first.
Furthermore, as a note to myself, the above range setting feature is
currently actually not available for value nodes that have been cast to
arrays, as those are set up as a pointer node with a hidden array type as
a child. Since the top level node does not show up as an array type, the
menu option isn't added. That needs to be addressed as well, though it
will be relatively trivial to detect/compensate for.
