See the description of the January 1989 X3J13 vote on pp. 96-97 of CltL2.  I believe you
are asking the old-style question, i.e. is the array capable of holding the type in the type
specifier instead of the new question, could this array have resulted from a call to make-array
with :element-type specified as in the type specifier.  (Note that in MCL, element type specifiers
of integer and fixnum generate different types of array.)
