Complex classes like ByPropertyIdArray often do a lot of different things. To break such a class down, we need to identify a cohesive component within that class. A common approach to find such a component is to look for fields/methods that share the same prefixes, or suffixes. You can also have a look at the cohesion graph to spot any un-connected, or weakly-connected components.
Once you have determined the fields that belong together, you can apply the Extract Class refactoring. If the component makes sense as a sub-class, Extract Subclass is also a candidate, and is often faster.
While breaking up the class, it is a good idea to analyze how other classes use ByPropertyIdArray, and based on these observations, apply Extract Interface, too.

If you want to be on the safe side, you can add an additional type-check:
If you are sure that the expression is traversable, you might want to add a doc comment cast to improve IDE auto-completion and static analysis:
