Which "this"?  Sander's proposal looks like one node per variable-length array, which is surely not very much.  I think Adrian is suggesting always having the count be an expression, which is one node per array type (with some deduplication possible, I hope, for arrays of the same length).  Then I came along and suggested another one for the lower bound, but those would almost always be expressions for 0 and 1, so that's two nodes total per CU.  Unless I'm misunderstanding how DIExpression works (very possible).
