Bug for catching things like bug 1296640 with the rooting hazard analysis.

Elem* val = typedObj->typedMem();
...GC...
f(val[0]); <-- hazard! memory might have moved
I don't know if you'd prefer I used TypedObjectElemArray whenever possible. But it's probably always going to be a mixture -- sometimes we're memcpy'ing or something, so single-element access isn't good enough. I suppose I could add a get() or autoconvert.

I'm kind of tempted to change the exposed typedMem() to require a nogc parameter, with a private accessor for internal use. But maybe that's overkill?

If this is not called anywhere outside of the TypedObjectElemArray constructor, can we inline it into that?

It is still called in several places where TypedObjectElemArray is not applicable.
Pull out the big stick. This would have prevented at least one sec-crit that I know of (now fixed).

Stricter requirements for accessing typed object data

Great, this will be much safer.

Not sure what's up with this part.  I can see the replacement already in the tree.

Oh, whoops. That's a bug in the earlier patch, fixed in this one. It causes a test failure. I'll move this hunk before landing. I had one other similar copy/paste bug, I'll double-check that I put it in the right patch too.
