I would vote B, I guess. I want generics and array of, but see array
of as a subset of generic functionality, personally.

For 5.6, though, I'd vote D. We have plenty of good stuff in 5.6
already, and I think we're at the point now where I'd rather see
what's in there get stabilised than spending serious effort on rushing
major new features in before the cut off. Additionally, I think this
would be an particularly good candidate for a new major version. (More
on that later.)
