I'm glad you think that. Sadly, not everyone else does.

My take is: sure I can accept that there's a difference once I'm told 
that there is, but this wasn't evident atll to /me/ from the names.

I must also confess that after hearing your explanation I still don't 
understand the linguistic distinction. I don't see a natural reason why 
arrays should be slots and lists should be the contents of the slots. 
And I don't see how that relates to Haskell's distinction.

Cheers,
Daniel.
