*) I don't think that *BooleanArray should support:
set P0[0], 3.2
set P0[1], "foo"
set P0[2], P1
So I would need to do
set I1, P1
set P0[2], I1
in order to store the contents of a PMC into a boolean array? What do I
do if I don't know the type of the destination array when I am compiling
this code?
nor
set N0, P[0]
...
et al. I think, if you use a BooleanArray with compact storage you are
knowing why and don't need automatic conversion to/from float, string,
nor PMC.
What do you think?

That would mean that I can't pass a boolean array to code that wants to
operate on a generic array, which seems limiting.
