That's true, but it's only in regard that is already mentioned in the documentation (and has to be, if we want to avoid confusion). So I think that in a way this would be a natural extension > However, in your example, what about using a list instead of a rest > argument for ‘dims’? That would also be a solution, but the way it is done now inherits the interface from make-typed-array, which is one thing less to memoize Best regards, Panicz
