The thought of adding more of a discussion around the Array class in the chapter on arrays has been swirling in my mind for quite a while. I'm making this item to make sure I consider it for the 6th Edition.
One of the big concerns I have with covering this in too much detail is that many of the methods are generic, and I don't necessarily want to embrace that this early in the book. However, there are some extremely useful methods in there, and people should know about this class.
The good news is that most of the members are both static and non-generic (using Array instead), so it might fit in well enough.
I also don't want to forget that this probably demands also revisiting the challenges in this chapter. I'm going to make a separate issue for that, but I'm mentioning it here as a second check to make sure they're good.
