Thanks, applied and pushed to wip-generalized-vectors.

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. A poor man's case-lambda...

FWIW this is not the case. 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...
