Function MAKE-ARRAY. MAKE-ARRAY can return specialized arrays for the ARRAY-ELEMENT-TYPEs (UNSIGNED-BYTE 2), (UNSIGNED-BYTE 4), (UNSIGNED-BYTE 8), (UNSIGNED-BYTE 16), (UNSIGNED-BYTE 32), and, of course, the required specializations NIL, BIT and CHARACTER.

Function ADJUST-ARRAY for displaced arrays. An array to which another array is displaced should not be shrunk (using ADJUST-ARRAY) in such a way that the other array points into void space. This cannot be checked at the time ADJUST-ARRAY is called!
