how about we get rid of "fast arrays"

Except for speed or efficiency, any difference in behavior between
arrays with different values of use_fast_arrays is a bug, I think. For
declared arrays and use_fast_arrays : false, we have:

 (%i2) array(a,1)$
 (%i3) :lisp(get (mget '$a 'array) 'array)
    #(##### #####)

OK, Maxima hides the CL array from the user when use_fast_arrays is
false and doesn't hide it when when it's false. How would dropping
support for use_fast_arrays : true remove any functionality to a user?
