Yes, exactly.

Right now, I use the existing scm_t_array_dim.  But maybe one can come
up with something better, like having a lower bound and a length
instead of lower and upper bounds.


I have implemented this interface in CVS head now, and there is some
documentation about it, but everything is in a lot of flux right
