Remarks

This is how GB# offers typed views over hardware indices without paying for them. Sprites[0] is a NativeIdentityAttribute indexer: it lowers to the constant 0, and the SpriteRef it "returns" exists only in the type system. The hardware access happens in the member accessed through it.

A member marked this way must take exactly one value through (the single argument, or the receiver for a parameterless instance member).
