I think the name fixed-array is confusing and should be replaced with
rectangular-array.

I would prefer a singular noun instead of array-manipulators; I suggest
storage-class, which allows it to be used with objects other than arrays.
Note that, like comparator, this is like a Haskell type class.

I don't like the name "dilation" either but don't have a suggestion right now.
