The contents are a _different_ value, that's the point - one without a
reference type. coerce_ref converts the reference to its value.
I do not quite understand why coerce_array is used; I suspect the
contents of an array are checked via the children instead of the
parent. coerce_array happens to also call coerce_ref.
