That is the most frequent case for which there is no clean solution.
There ought to be an array constructor that takes a pointer to a
deallocation function which is called to free the data space.

You can do myarray->flags |= OWN_DATA, then the data space will be
freed using the standard free() function. But this is undocumented,
and works only if the standard OS memory allocation calls were used to
allocate the memory.
