The JIT can't eliminate range checks if it can't "see" Length and uses loop cloning which generates a lot of code. Even in cases where not all range checks can be eliminated and loop cloning is used anyway it's still preferable to have fewer range checks. For example, SortExceptions is ~140 bytes shorter after this change, despite the fact that loop cloning is still being used.
