The main purpose of this change is to rename array.m as bt_array.m, and
uniq_array.m as array.m. The interfaces of those two modules have grown
slightly so that they match a little more closely. Details are in the
file NEWS.
The implementation of bt_array (formerly array) has been changed to use
a slightly more efficient implementation.
