[Mono-list] Array should have a Count property?

[Daniel Weber]

Arrays are kind of a differant case than the other data structures, though, 
since they can have multiple dimensions.  I kind of got the impression from 
reading on arrays that the have:

1) length - total  number of elements
2) Rank - number of dimesions

It's up to the person using the array to know how many elements in the array 
are valid (like arrays in C, sort of).

I'm not sure what count would return, the number of unique assignments?  Then 
the array would have to keep track of what was valid.

Just my two cents...
