There is a new record type, ARRAYBLOCK. An ARRAYBLOCK declaration
is very much like a DATATYPE declaration, except that the objects
one deals with are arrays. As with DATATYPE's, the actual order
of the fields of the ARRAYBLOCK may be shuffled around in order
to satisfy garbage collector constraints (for arrays, this means
that the pointers actually come last).
For example,
(ARRAYBLOCK FOO ((F1 INTEGER) (F2 FLOATING) (F3 POINTER)
(F4 BETWEEN -30 -2) (F5 BITS 12) (F6 FLAG)]
