Description

The `array()` factory takes `...` and this makes this harder than it needs to be because then we have two competing views on type: 

 - `vctrs::vec_c(.ptype=)` which uses R specific typing system

 - the arrow type 

 

So `array()` should really take a single thing for `data`, which may be the result of a `vctrs::vec_c(...)` if we do want R type promotion.
