Yes. I am aware of this. And it is also true for version 5.2.
=46or example,
In[1]:=
$Version
Out[1]=
5.2 for Mac OS X (June 20, 2005)
In[2]:=
Developer`PackedArrayQ[Range@3]
Out[2]=
True
But the way Murray wrote his message, it seemed he was
suggesting doing
In[1]:= $Version
Out[1]= 6.0 for Mac OS X PowerPC (32-bit) (April 20, 2007)
In[2]:= PackedArrayQ[Range@3]
Out[2]= PackedArrayQ({1,2,3})
should give an unevaluated result
