Bounds expressions aren't allowed to contain modifying expressions. It is possible for bounds inference to create bounds expressions containing modifying expressions when inferring bounds expressions for member operator expressions.
We have code that attempts to disallow the creation of invalid bounds expressions by making the bounds be unknown. This code is wrong because it can cause the compiler to skip checking bounds declarations when the inferred target bounds for the LHS of an assignment contains a modifying expression.
Instead of trying to hack the results of the inference analysis, cast a wide net by directly checking that bounds expressions created by bounds inference are non-modifying expressions. This directly prevents the creation of bounds checks with side-effects embedded in them and incorrect analysis of bounds expressions with side effects.
