It ought to be noted that the alternative syntax is used essentially for
strings, not for arrays proper. In fact, I expect that it is used almost
exclusively for strings.
That means, most probably: ~2.2k uses of alternative syntax for direct byte
access in strings among 888.3k for byte access in strings AND direct element
access in arrays.
