Modified Files:
	libarray.tex 
Log Message:
SF feature request #686323:  Minor array module enhancements

array.extend() now accepts iterable arguments implements as a series
of appends.  Besides being a user convenience and matching the behavior
for lists, this the saves memory and cycles that would be used to
create a temporary array object.

! Append items from \var{iterable} to the end of the array.  If
! \var{iterable} is another array, it must have \emph{exactly} the same
! type code; if not, \exception{TypeError} will be raised.  If
! \var{iterable} is not an array, it must be iterable and its
! elements must be the right type to be appended to the array.
