I added Conway's Game of Life as an example in a pull request, and it
has the code:

(define glider
   (list*->array
    '((0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0)
      (0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0)
      (0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0)
      (0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0)
      (0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0)
      (0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0)
      (0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0)
      (0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0)
      (0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0)
      (0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0))
    2
    u1-storage-class))

The first two arguments are required, but I'm beginning to think that
the short required argument, the dimension, should come before the data
itself, which can be quite large.

Opinions?
