  <https://github.com/scheme-requests-for-implementation/srfi-122/pull/7/files>

Here are Bradley's comments on this draft:

  In generic-arrays.scm:

  1 Rewrite array-extract so that the result is specialized
    or mutable if the argument is specialized or mutable,
    respectively.

  In srfi-122.scm and srfi-122.html:

  1 Replace the too-brief Rationale section with a longer
    Overview section.  Explain Bawden's 1993 proposal and
    how we extend it, explain how the specific array
    operations we offer fit into Bawden's framework, and
    explain how "generalized" arrays are indeed more general
    than Bawden's arrays and why we need them.

  2 Document the new functionality of array-extract.

    proposal.
