Some comments on data structures.
Please let me know if I miss something, which is possible.
1. It should be possible to create an uninitialised array.
[It can be done for string]
2. Arrays are mutable, but not variable length.
3. It isn't clear to me how fast concatenation
of sub arrays (or substrings) is. If I write
Array.append
(Array.sub x xfirst xlen)
(Array.sub y yfirst ylen)
it isn't clear if the intermediate subarrays are
needlessly constructed or not.
