<p>SRFI-4 provides an interface to uniform numeric vectors: vectors whose elements
are all of a single numeric type. Guile offers uniform numeric vectors for
signed and unsigned 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit integers, two sizes of
floating point values, and, as an extension to SRFI-4, complex floating-point
numbers of these two sizes.
</p>
<p>The standard SRFI-4 procedures and data types may be included via loading the
appropriate module:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">(use-modules (srfi srfi-4))
</pre></div>
<p>This module is currently a part of the default Guile environment, but it is a
good practice to explicitly import the module. In the future, using SRFI-4
procedures without importing the SRFI-4 module will cause a deprecation message
to be printed. (Of course, one may call the C functions at any time. Would that
C had modules!)
