Arrays are further subdivided into strings, vectors, char-tables and
bool-vectors. Vectors can hold elements of any type, but string
elements must be characters, and bool-vector elements must be @code{t}

Lists, strings and the other array types are different, but they have
important similarities. For example, all have a length @var{l}, and all
