I didn't mean to imply that it would be faster.  I just wanted to
point out another mechanism to carry out this task.  The advantage of
it is that it avoids an explicit loop and in many cases produces
simpler looking code.  For example, compare:

   variable i;
   _for i (0, length(arr)-1, 1)
      funct (arr[i]);

to

   array_map (Void_Type, &funct, arr);

or

   variable result = Some_Type[length(arr)];
   variable i;
   _for i (0, length(arr)-1, 1)
      result[i] = funct (arr[i]);

to

   variable result = array_map (Some_Type, &funct, arr);

I will look into extending autoload to support this, but do not look
for it anytime soon.
