Description

It'd be nice if we could be safer with SafeArrays. We use them a lot in our accessibility model.

Some ideas include:

  • deleting automatically if anything goes wrong
  • easy conversions to/from vectors/arrays

I submitted an issue on wil here. If it gets implemented there first, we should use that. If not, we should just create it here and then pass it up to wil.
