David Bakhash submitted cl-array.el some time ago, and it looks like
it might have gotten overlooked. (At least, I don't see any followup
to it).

See , for example, 
  http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-beta/199811/msg00174.html

except that seems to be version 0.2. I've got a copy of 0.3 (that I
found somewhere, not sure where) that I successfully used this last
year for some simple bioinformatics stuff, where a multidimensional
array proved very handy. 

Would this be worthwhile to add?
