Behind the scenes of uniform arrays?


Yeah, there will always be a way for C code to get at the real bytes
of a uniform array.  The SCM_CHARS macro works on uniform vectors, and
SCM_VELTS works for uniform arrays.  I think.  :)

Strings might get more complicated in the future.  There are some nice
tricks you can pull to speed up string-append and substring, and they
tie in with Unicode support.  But I assume you're just worried about
byte arrays...
