For arrays, the implementation does use the cffv of the element type and it is
a natural extension of the description of Class.accessFlags() using some of the
modifiers (public, protected, and private) of the component type (as written a
couple of lines above). But it may be a bit of overreach to say that its
appropriate for other modifiers of an array to have the same behavior.
