Seeing this exchange and thought of something like this:

+++ b/defs.h
@@ -1215,8 +1215,8 @@ struct reference {

With this patch, a patch trying to add an entry to the middle of the table:

Having this even only for the offset_table, size_table and array_table
might be effective to let developers notice that rule.
What do you think? Attached a patch.
