At the time that subref array pointers were implemented, there was a
discussion on the list on how to do this. Changing the ABI for array
descriptors was favoured but nobody had the time to carry out the
necessary surgery. Therefore, I came up with the span kludge, which
arguably is worse than nothing:-(
If you have the time and the inclination, we would all be very pleased
if you could do it. Otherwise, is there another volunteer out there?
Cheers
