I was bitten by an out-of-bounds index at AREF while working
in a new feature.

A similar assert as we do in ASET would have allowed me
to diagnostic the bug in minutes; instead, it took me
few days to realize the bug.

Is it OK for you to add the following patch?

Yes, good idea. I wondered a while ago (to myself) why AREF doesn't check
subscripts when Emacs is configured with --enable-checking. Now that I think
about it more, it's most likely because AREF was a macro and didn't want to
evaluate its index argument multiple times. We don't need to worry about that
any more.

aref_addr should have a similar check (off by one since one can address one past
the end of an array).

There's no need to change test/manual/etags/c-src/emacs/src/lisp.h as that's
just a data file (and changes can be harmful there as they can mess up the 
tests).

I installed the attached.
