That is the plan. none of the current Array implementations will
change, they will still be instances of both MArray and HasBounds. it is
just that HasBounds will no longer be a superclass of MArray, however
that doesn't affect performance in any appreciable way. (and array
operations pretty much always end up specialized anyway so all class
overhead disapears.)
