IIRC the magic number in the CSA is 4 by default, as that is the amount of times we allow the analyzer to execute the same statement in a row. After that it falls back to conservative evaluation.

It shouldn't cause an issue in this case, but with structured binding of arrays you might se different results. In general I recommend testing for `< 4` and `>= 4` cases.
