However, since 1/3 is no longer a real, uniform vector creation with this prototype fails... I have no good suggestion for what to do about this, but one thing is certain: We can't suggest people to use 1/3 as prototype for double arrays (at least now without modifying scm_make_uve). Note also, that prototypes like 1.0 menas uniform float array...
