Yes, that would make sense.

I believe AddressSanitizer <https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AddressSanitizer.html> 
should be able to detect out-of-bounds accesses.

So far as alias analysis goes, the two approaches should be orthogonal, but 
nevertheless we'd still have to go through the usual procedure of modifying the 
direct `GetElementPtrInst` checks and casts used by such patches.
