Torsten Roessel:
   I've been wondering about the motivations for some decisions made
   in the design of Standard ML. They concern a couple of useful
   concepts well known from imperative languages, namely overloading,
   subtypes, and arrays. While these could certainly provide there
   benefits in a functional setting as well they have been omitted in
   the definition of SML.

Arrays are defined in the SML library.
