+
+@defun array? obj
+
+Returns @code{#t} if the @var{obj} is an array, and @code{#f} if not.
+@end defun
+@noindent
+@emph{Note:} Arrays are not disjoint from other Scheme types. Strings
+and vectors also satisfy @code{array?}. A disjoint array predicate can
+be written:
+
+@example
+(define (strict-array? obj)
+ (and (array? obj) (not (string? obj)) (not (vector? obj))))
+@end example
+
+
+@defun array=? array1 array2
+
+Returns @code{#t} if @var{array1} and @var{array2} have the same rank and shape and the
+corresponding elements of @var{array1} and @var{array2} are @code{equal?}.
+
+@example
+(array=? (create-array '#(foo) 3 3)
+ (create-array '#(foo) '(0 2) '(0 2)))
+ @result{} #t
+@end example
+@end defun
+
+@defun create-array prototype bound1 bound2 @dots{}
+
+
+Creates and returns an array of type @var{prototype} with dimensions @var{bound1}, @var{bound2},
+@dots{} and filled with elements from @var{prototype}. @var{prototype} must be an array,
+vector, or string. The implementation-dependent type of the returned
+array will be the same as the type of @var{prototype}; except if that would be a
+vector or string with non-zero origin, in which case some variety of
+array will be returned.
+
+If the @var{prototype} has no elements, then the initial contents of the returned
+array are unspecified. Otherwise, the returned array will be filled
+with the element at the origin of @var{prototype}.
+@end defun
+@noindent
+These functions return a prototypical uniform-array enclosing the
+optional argument (which must be of the correct type). If the
+uniform-array type is supported by the implementation, then it is
+returned; defaulting to the next larger precision type; resorting
+finally to vector.

+@noindent
+When constructing an array, @var{bound} is either an inclusive range of
+indices expressed as a two element list, or an upper bound expressed as
+a single integer. So
+
+@example
+(create-array '#(foo) 3 3) @equiv{} (create-array '#(foo) '(0 2) '(0 2))
+@end example
+
+
+@defun make-shared-array array mapper bound1 bound2 @dots{}
+
+@code{make-shared-array} can be used to create shared subarrays of other
+arrays. The @var{mapper} is a function that translates coordinates in
+the new array into coordinates in the old array. A @var{mapper} must be
+linear, and its range must stay within the bounds of the old array, but
+it can be otherwise arbitrary. A simple example:
+
+@example
+(define fred (create-array '#(#f) 8 8))
+(define freds-diagonal
+ (make-shared-array fred (lambda (i) (list i i)) 8))
+(array-set! freds-diagonal 'foo 3)
+(array-ref fred 3 3)
+ @result{} FOO
+(define freds-center
+ (make-shared-array fred (lambda (i j) (list (+ 3 i) (+ 3 j)))
+ 2 2))
+(array-ref freds-center 0 0)
+ @result{} FOO
+@end example
+@end defun
+
+@defun array-rank obj
+
+Returns the number of dimensions of @var{obj}. If @var{obj} is not an array, 0 is
+returned.
+@end defun
+
+@defun array-shape array
+
+Returns a list of inclusive bounds.
+
+@example
+(array-shape (create-array '#() 3 5))
+ @result{} ((0 2) (0 4))
+@end example
+@end defun
+
+@defun array-dimensions array
+
+@code{array-dimensions} is similar to @code{array-shape} but replaces
+elements with a 0 minimum with one greater than the maximum.
+
+@example
+(array-dimensions (create-array '#() 3 5))
+ @result{} (3 5)
+@end example
+@end defun
+
+@defun array-in-bounds? array index1 index2 @dots{}
+
+Returns @code{#t} if its arguments would be acceptable to
+@code{array-ref}.
+@end defun
+
+@defun array-ref array index1 index2 @dots{}
+
+Returns the (@var{index1}, @var{index2}, @dots{}) element of @var{array}.
+@end defun
+
+@deffn {Procedure} array-set! array obj index1 index2 @dots{}
+
+Stores @var{obj} in the (@var{index1}, @var{index2}, @dots{}) element of @var{array}. The value returned
+by @code{array-set!} is unspecified.
+@end deffn
