Previous meetings
-----------------------------
 AI:  follow-up to mantis 978
    Neil - rewrite unique(), the first 2 sentences appear to be
contradictory. 
	 - Make sure that it is clear that array elements are returned. 
	 - Add some examples for unique().
    Neil - Array reduction methods can operate on arrays of non-integral
values
	  when a with clause is specified, as long as the type of the
expression
	  is an integral value.
    Gord - re-write section 5.15.4 - only the default argument value
makes sense.
    Dave - what order is used for find and find_index 
          (e.g. traversal is left to right of the bounds,
		associative is min to max)
        - 5.15.1 - change last sentence in first paragraph.
   All  - can anyone come up with a realistic example? (last example
5.15.4)
        - not only where you would need it but also what does it mean.
