Just in case there's any confusion.  Hugs' array implementation uses linear 
lists which means that you get linear-time access to arrays in Hugs.  If 
you're using large arrays in Haskell and care about performance, use GHC or 
NHC.

ps Since you were asking about libraries provided by different compilers.  The 
last release of Hugs includes many of the GHC libraries.  Future releases 
will include even more.
