Just adding 0.02EUR: creation of a class with the same name as one of
the core classes does not seem like a good idea to me - although it's
certainly possible.  It may cause confusion and it also makes using
the core class more cumbersome (you need to reference it as ::Array in
the module and nested classes for example).

Kind regards
