#460: upgraded-array-element-type/class-of for arrays -------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: mevenson | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: 1.5.1 Component: interpreter | Version: 1.6.0-dev Keywords: | Parent Tickets: -------------------------+---------------------------- Alan notes in <https://github.com/armedbear/abcl/issues/84> {{{ No code of mine depends on this, but I was reading an article and it prompted me to check types of arrays and how upgraded-array-element-type works. Bottom line is that it isn't consistent.
