Sure. Easy. :-)

Not sure I understand. Looks like the same reason to me. Or maybe my words
are not clear enough.

I don't see how pr107874 or pr105371 are related to this.

Yes. The situation is severely out of hand there. We could just outline the
for loop body to a separate function, but I'm not sure it would by us much.
We could use different classes defining the argument passing convention (by
reference, by value with an extra argument, with array container, with class
container, etc) and dispatch to the methods of those classes. But it's
difficult to have a global understanding of what is needed here.

Well, the structure of the existing code doesn't really help to guide changes.
I thing we should try to make it possible to thing locally about a specific
case without caring about the rest. But as new missing cases are discovered we
keep adding code, making it less and less local, and ... Well, we keep feeding
the monster.
