For the uninitiated, can you please explain what's happening here, which types
are involved, which ones are stubs, and what that means.  That would help me
understand what happens here and be confident that the patch is correct.

Why is the `TYPE_NFIELDS (type) == 1` check necessary here?

Is it possible to have an array type where the index type is not TYPE_CODE_RANGE?

If it is not, then we should assert `TYPE_CODE (range_type) == TYPE_CODE_RANGE`.  If it
can be of another type, what are the other possibilities?

Please add a short introductory comment that explains what this intends to test.
