Scotched, as far as I could tell, partly due to nobody's having
actually done work toward such a thing, and partly because the closest
thing I've heard to an objection is pretty nebulous. :)

It's a lot simpler to have them always, and it fits in with the larger
picture of making arrays fully composable with other operations like
DOMAIN, ENUM and TYPE.
