The main problem I see with System.Array is that we will get "ambiguous
invocation" warnings when using AreElementsEqual&co with unidimensional
arrays.

On the other hand, with T[,] and T[,,], we force the user to compare arrays
with the same rank already (but I don't know if this is really an issue).
The number of supported dimensions is also limited to 2 and 3 (but I'm not
sure it's an issue neither) An advantage of the generic version is that we
can report easily the exact coordinates of the failing elements.

I think we should abandon System.Array.

Agree?
