Not necessarily, as there is the Any_Type[N] array available.

A list2array function could also take an optional type argument

 Array_Type = list2array([DataType_Type type], List_Type list);

The default could be either Any_Type, or auto-detection. See pop2array() in
http://jedmodes.sf.net/mode/datutils/ for an example of auto-detection of
the data type.
