This would be trivial to implement with macros. Especially when (if) the
Superpatch's #ifdef(Array[Elem]) function makes it into the official
version. Until then the size of the array would need to be specified.
For example, array rotate:

#macro ARot(Array,ArraySize,RotVect)
    #local C=0;
    #local NewArray=array[ArraySize]
    #while(C<ArraySize)
        #local NewArray[C]=vrotate(Array[C],RotVect);
        #local C=C+1;
   #end
   NewArray
#end

#declare Array1=array[N]{...}
#declare Array2=ARot(Array1,N,<XRot,YRot,ZRot>)
