Foreign.destructArray

[Hal Daume III]

Doesn't look like it.  I looked around the full archive and the only
mention of destructArray is from Marcin's post from March 2001:

Regardless, it would be nice if functions were first deprecated and then
removed.  I'm really wishing at this point that I hadn't upgraded to ghc
5.04; most of my programs no longer compile due to the library
restructuring and for every function I use that's not pure Haskell 98
(which is a fair amount, unfortunately), I've had to grep around the
imports directory to find out where it moved to.  I don't mean to point a
finger at anyone for this, but I was expecting either a smoother
transition or for the version number of GHC to change significantly.  A
minor version change should not break programs (imo).

Sorry for the tirade, but I'm pressured to get some code out soon and this
isn't helping things.
