Calls to this method are produced by syntax lowering for simple typed comprehensions. The current signature is ambiguous, making JET believe that the modified method could have ended up invoking itself. Resolve this by renaming the other methods.

These are the the warnings I am seeing while JETing a package:

This is the main point of contention: JET can not rule out that this method ends up calling itself recursively, which then leads to follow-up weirdness (like it looking for a length(::HasLength) method, and of course failing to find one).

I am open for better names than _array_for2 (perhaps _array_for_inner ?).

Thanks for making this fix. I don't think _array_for and _array_for2 really need to be generic functions with the same name, so I'm totally on board with separating them for type stability.
Maybe _array_for_inner would be better than _array_for2.

I'd like to add some tests using JET to prevent future regressions, but we lack the infra for that currently (and JET is currently not even compatible with nightly)

I've renamed it to _array_for_inner
