Constructing array

If you can build it in one swoop, use construct_array(). If you need
to build it incrementally then things will be much more painful...

(This is from C, if that's not obvious)

I'm sure there are other good examples, but one possibility is to look
at pg_conversion.c in PL/R source. Start with get_array_datum().
