newAddrArray# and other things

GlaExts (package lang) is currently the right place to get these from.

> elt #)

Ok, I wouldn't be surprised if the documentation on the primitives is
incorrect and/or out of date.  We have vague plans to auto-generate this
stuff from the file fptools/ghc/compiler/prelude/primops.txt, which is
incedentally a better place to look to get the types of these things.
