This is very interesting. As it happens, I was shopping for functional
array-oriented languages or the bits from which to build one (hence my
bickering about source). I already knew that Clean had good support
for arrays, better than Haskell (I got this from Simon Peyton-Jones
himself!) but even after reading your paper, I am left wanting for
more info about arrays specifically. Apart from that paper and the
Clean LRM, where else are Clean arrays discused?

Thanks,
