It requires moving away from arena allocation. I believe it's not entirely simple because we
have two different ways to share op_arrays, one of them sharing only the resources it points to
while having a separately allocated op_array structure, and another where the op_array itself is
also shared. This makes it a bit tricky to determine whether or not an op_array needs to be freed
when it is released, or only the refcount decremented.
