    v23 v24  
    2222 Which behaviour is preferred? 
    2323   * ''(Which types? Is this tied to the Resizable vs. Fixed? as an HLL author, I don't particularly care, as my language doesn't support straight negative indices anyway. If we're moving to unify this feature, I would again suggest we move to unify more, ala support of shift/push --Coke)'' 
    24    * ''(No, it's "random". ResizableBooleanArray does accept negative indeces, while ResizableIntegerArray does not.)'' 
     24     * ''(No, it's "random". ResizableBooleanArray does accept negative indeces, while ResizableIntegerArray does not.)'' 
    2525 
    2626== Fixed Arrays == 
     
    5353 * My dictionaries can't agree whether the spelling is "resizable" or "resizeable"; if the latter, should we fix the spelling now, later, or never? 
    5454 
    55 == Deprecation of Array == 
     55== Universal Ancestral "Array" == #ArrayAncestor 
    5656 
    57 Several commentators have said that Array should be removed. 
    58  
    59 What, if anything, is it useful for? 
    60 What's the difference between "Array" and "ResizeablePMCArray" or "FixedPMCArray"? 
    61 (A note on [http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=56718 RT#56718] says that its only useful feature is its sparseness.) 
    62  
    63 What needs to be done before it can be removed? 
     57It has been suggested (in #1416) that we should have a common ancestor class for all array-like types, to facilitate adding new common methods to them all. Perhaps a better alternative would be multiple "base classes" representing the various aspects of an array (see [#Roleseparation next section]).
