For a typed array of length 1024, setting `ta[1023]` would do something completely different from setting `ta[1024]`. Unlike normal arrays, setting `ta[1024]` would not change `ta.length`, and presumably `ta[1024]` would not be exposed by the various iteration facilities.

To clarify, out of range [[Get]] returns undefined and out of range [[Put]] is either a noop or a throw depending upon the strictness of code doing the [[Put]] (ie, normal [[Put]] strict behavior)
