You're right. Most of them can be corrected by learning to use the 
underline in identifiers. My_Array is much clearer than Myarray. Uniform

I don't see any problem with your approach; it seems clear and easy to 
understand to me. But the use of unconstrained array types and 
operations on them, as suggested elsewhere, may help give you something 
more to your taste.
