I can write a patch > for that. For C, that makes sense. Something should be done for Scheme as well, but it's not terribly urgent. Perhaps make scm_array_ref not be bound to "array-ref", and instead bind "array-ref" to some function that takes two optional arguments and a rest argument.

Vectors hold SCM objects, whereas uniform vectors hold unpacked machine values. It's possible to have a one-dimensional slice of a uniform array also. Now on to your next mail...
