I remember someone saying before (Marius, I think) that we should
scrap our current uniform array code in favor of srfi-4, because the
array code we have is a huge pain to deal with. I think this applies
to multidimensional arrays as well, but I'm not so sure I'd want to
use srfi-25.
In any case, the array code in Guile is a huge mess and I'd be in favor
of deprecating it, especially since there seem to be good alternatives.
