Put the time machine away, Matthew. You're not fooling anybody.
Thanks. :D

How hard would it be to allow flvectors to be passed to foreign
functions as double pointers?
BLAS and LAPACK linear algebra functions primarily accept pointers to
floating-point arrays in row-major order. If we could send flvectors
directly (or at least pointers to their elements), we could reuse the
`FlArray' type for LAPACK-accelerated matrices, cut down on copying, and
more easily transparently use LAPACK on systems that have it.
Would it require somehow allocating flvectors with 'atomic-interior so
they wouldn't be relocated?
