Oh, I hadn't understood that was the question.
Do you really think that we can do without? First it would require us
to add a ton of cwise...() functions that will not often be used
(what's the use for cwiseCos() when we have a true Array class?), and
even then, we still wouldn't have all the power that .array()
provides, e.g. think of user-defined functions taking an Array...
