Yes, we could do that. The downside to this is that the interface for
accessing these vectors from C becomes much more complicated since the
elements of the vector are not necessarily contiguous in memory.
Right now, I would be happy with just stating clearly that 1-d shared
arrays are not vectors, full stop. (Of course, 1-d _non_-shared
arrays _are_ vectors.)
But now might be the right time to go for the clean solution, now that
the new interface is being defined... hmm.
I will first clean up the functionality that we have now, and then
worry about new functionality.
Related to this: should vector-set! etc work with uniform vectors?
With strings?
