FWIW, I agree with Tomas that this is an oversight that should be
fixed in v16, saving from the need to have a copy of
deconstruct_array_builtin() in extensions.  Same argument here:
couldn't it be possible that an extension does multiple array
constructs and deconstructs in a single code path?  We have patterns
like that in core as well.  For instance, see
extension_config_remove().
