mapi, iteri, fold_lefti, fold_righti

mapi, iteri, fold_lefti, fold_righti

[Adam P. Jenkins]

Hi,
	I find a lot of times that Array.map and Array.iter aren't
adequate when I want to iterate through an array, since I need to use
the corresponding indexes as well.  While it's trivial to do what I
need with a for loop, I like having a function.  I've therefore
written my own mapi and iteri, like SML's mapi and appi.  For those
not familiar with SML, iteri is like Array.iter except f is called
with the index of the element as well as the element.

Also, I think Array should have fold functions too, so I wrote
fold_left, fold_right, fold_lefti, and fold_righti for arrays.  

In my opinion these belong in the Array module for O'Caml, but maybe
others don't find they use these as much as me.  Here they are.

Cheers,
Adam
