I will neither use undocumented programming techniques, nor recommend
doing so to other programmers, no matter what kind of language. That would
- quite in general - be a very bad habit that eventually must lead to bugs
that are hard to impossible to diagnose and debug.
Assigning to Data_bigarray_val is not explicitly permitted.
Nevertheless, being allowed to do so would be helpful. So, a simple change
to the documentation would suffice to make me happy.
