Summary:                    [0.9.3] Unable to specify concrete type for array
literals
Description: 
cs2n transtes C# construct:

  object[] arr = new object[]{ 1, 2, 3 };

into:

  mutable arr = array[ 1, 2, 3 ];

Which in fact produces array of int, not array of object (and it is
impossible to convert such an array to array of object). No matter what I
tried, there was no way to specify type for array, and actually looking at
the source code I can see that there is indeed no such construct, which
makes it impossible to use array literals in certain situations...
