+(** Large, multi-dimensional, numerical arrays.
+
+ This module implements multi-dimensional arrays of integers and
+ floating-point numbers, thereafter referred to as ``big arrays''.
+ The implementation allows efficient sharing of large numerical
+ arrays between Caml code and C or Fortran numerical libraries.
+
+ Concerning the naming conventions, users of this module are encouraged
+ to do [open Bigarray] in their source, then refer to array types and
+ operations via short dot notation, e.g. [Array1.t] or [Array2.sub].
+
+ Big arrays support all the Caml ad-hoc polymorphic operations:
+ - comparisons ([=], [<>], [<=], etc, as well as {!Pervasives.compare});
+ - hashing (module [Hash]);
+ - and structured input-output ({!Pervasives.output_value}
+ and {!Pervasives.input_value}, as well as the functions from the
+ {!Marshal} module).
