no. but now you can implement array type that has dynamic bound and still
compatible with MArray class

i have already implemented such beast as part of my ArrayRef library.
look at http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Library/ArrayRef

you can steal my code, or switch to using my library. the later has
advantage of compatibility with both 6.4 and 6.6
