-- /Note:/ The "Data.Array.IArray" module provides a more general interface
-- to immutable arrays: it defines operations with the same names as
-- those defined below, but with more general types, and also defines
-- 'Array' instances of the relevant classes.  To use that more general
-- interface, import "Data.Array.IArray" but not "Data.Array".

{- $intro
Haskell provides indexable /arrays/, which may be thought of as functions
whose domains are isomorphic to contiguous subsets of the integers.
Functions restricted in this way can be implemented efficiently;
in particular, a programmer may reasonably expect rapid access to
the components.  To ensure the possibility of such an implementation,
arrays are treated as data, not as general functions.

Since most array functions involve the class 'Ix', this module is exported
from "Data.Array" so that modules need not import both "Data.Array" and
"Data.Ix".
