Guile arrays were implemented before srfi-25 existed and aren't supposed to be compatible with it. There are many other array srfis all with incompatible syntaxes...

However srfi-25 is tiny so it should be really simple to implement it on top of Guile arrays. If you or anyone else submits a patch, I'm sure it will be considered.
