I was concerned that it might confuse Common Lispers, but on reflection
I don't think it will, even though it's possible for a simple-array to
be displaced to (i.e. share bodies with) with another simple-array.
The more important point is that it is not adjustable (that is, the
dimensions can be mutated without breaking eq?).

So sure, "simple-array" is fine.
