I like the idea of extending certain sequence functions to also work on
arrays of more than one dimension. I do NOT like the idea of
considering multi-D arrays to be sequences. This seems deeply
unintuitive to me, and it is likely to have unexpected repercussions in
other parts of the language. So I am not in favor of the
proposal as modified by Touretzky.
I'm not sure what coerce should do.
