There are the usual Pascal array functions, like setlength, copy, insert,
delete and concat.

You can also type cast the array to JSArray from unit js, which gives you
all the JS functions.

And when eventually type helpers are implemented, functions can be added to
Pascal arrays.


The problem with helper types is that you can't add them for all array
types at once, but only for a specific one (and even then  - at least in
Delphi and FPC - you can't use "array of X", but need to use an explicit
array type).

Especially with the concept of type helpers already existing it makes sense
to think about "built in methods" for arrays...
