#:
#: This implementation is inspired by
#: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/137566/arrays-in-unix-bourne-shell
#:
#: Is implements one-dimensional array with one-base indexing.
#:
#: Hints and rules:
#:
#: - Every array has a NAME
#: - One-based indexing is used
#: - Array elements are stored in a global variable named
#:   ``_farr_<NAME>_<index-number>``
#: - The number of elements in the array ist stored in the global
#:   variable ``_farr_<NAME>__``
#: - An array name must conform to shell variable naming conventions
#: - Currently the number of of elements of an array must be >= 0
#: - An unset global variable ``_farr_<NAME>__`` variable is a severe
#:   error normally and forces an immediate error ``exit``.
#:   Exceptions to this rule are documented.

#: Args:

#: Create a new array.
#:

#: Args:
#:   $1 (str): The name of the array.

#:   $2... (optional): Optional initialization values
