! An array is a range of memory storing pointers to other
! objects. Arrays are not used directly, and their access words
! are not bounds checked. Examples of abstractions built on
! arrays include vectors, hashtables, and tuples.
! These words are unsafe. I'd say "do not call them", but that
! Java-esque. By all means, do use arrays if you need something
! low-level... but be aware that vectors are usually a better
! choice.
