Strong +1.  It's especially weird to have Array and Fixed-array rather
than Fixed-Array.  I'll have more comments on names later.

It was dreary and wearisome.  Cold clammy winter still held sway in this
forsaken country.  The only green was the scum of livid weed on the dark
greasy surfaces of the sullen waters.  Dead grasses and rotting reeds loomed
up in the mists like ragged shadows of long-forgotten summers.
