Python: should gdb.Value array indexing check bounds?

Currently, if a gdb.Value object corresponds to an array, array indexing is done C-style: no bounds checking, just pointer arithmetic. That's somewhat unnatural to Python. Should it do a range check instead, and raise IndexError for out of range index values?
That wouldn't affect indexing of pointers, since those don't have a range so the only possible approach is the C one.
