 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:
