I also promised a final revision to the editor a month ago and failed again. 1) The spec out there is up to date; 2) packing indices as vectors seems very useful to me for implementing higher-level operations; packing them as vector-like arrays seems an attempt at something more general, but let them be for now; 3) whether vectors are arrays is unspecified; I did not implement this but there should be no problem about it, and the ability to pack indices as arrays is compatible with this; 4) no support for sparse arrays; no attempt to make it more abstract (whatever that meant - sorry - will study it later); 5) thanks for all the suggestions for higher-level operations; more are welcome; that would be another library. It is limited in scope, but it seems alright to me, and it seems able to support a useful and interesting larger library. As I understand the process, the decision is mine to let it go final or withdrawn; I would say final now; if somebody feels strongly either way, let me know now. Either way, it stays available. That is also part of the process. -- Jussi
