By all means write it up as a SRFI, then, and I'll add it to the ballot, even though we'll be voting before it can be finalized. There is precedent for this, as long as there is a spec to work from. Arthur is letting specs be posted without implementation these days, though not finalized without implementation.

For what it is worth, Kawa's arrays are an extension of SRFI 25 and SRFI 4 (uniform vectors),
including some additions from Racket's math.array package.

Kawa treats regular vectors, uniform vectors, strings, and bytevectors as rank-1 arrays.
Thus they can be inputs to array-transform and share-array.
