Review Comment:
I updated the docs to clarify this...they're *almost* the same, but
`Array$create()` tries to convert in C++ first and doesn't have S3 dispatch
overhead in all the common cases. I don't know if that tiny difference matters
other than that it helps when testing to make sure that the C++-first pathway
does the right thing.
