This module defines a new object type which can efficiently represent
an array of basic values: characters, integers, floating point
numbers. Arrays are sequence types and behave very much like lists,
except that the type of objects stored in them is constrained. The
type is specified at object creation time by using a \dfn{type code},
which is a single character. The following type codes are defined:

The actual representation of values is determined by the machine

stored for \code{'L'} and \code{'I'} items will be represented as
