Further information
This function returns the type of a given array. The type of an array designates both the type of all entries of the array (as a type code) and the storage class used for that array. The entry's type code can be extracted using the macro XPRM_TYP(type). The storage class can be extracted using the macro XPRM_GRP(type) that indicates the internal representation of the array. Possible values are:

XPRM_ARR_FIX | array is dense and all its indexing sets are constant
XPRM_ARR_DYFIX | array is dense but at least one of its indexing sets is not constant
XPRM_ARR_DYN | array is sparse and has been declared as dynamic
XPRM_ARR_HMAP | array is sparse and has been declared as hashmap

Sparse arrays can be identified using the macro XPRM_ARR_IS_SPARSE(type).
