I suggest (and discussed this with Walter too) to strongly move towards making
arrays a library type. This is already happening for hashtables.

The compiler should reduce its role to only (a) translating array syntactic
sugar (e.g. literals) to calls to that library type, (b) CTFE for arrays (which
would be very difficult if CTFE were using the library array type), and (c)
figuring out high-level bulk operations like the one in this bug report and
optimize them.
