Remove "unofficial" types from printArray()

GoToLoop · GoToLoop · commit 064b2e01e5b5 · 2014-10-17T11:37:28.000-03:00
As a protest for the bureaucratic intransigence refusal to include the missing `short[]` in **printArray()**, I've made this opposite proposal! https://github.com/processing/processing/pull/2896/files Motive given was: "'shorts' are not supported in Processing and are omitted on purpose." But so are both `long` & `double`; and they were contemplated into **printArray()** nonetheless! Another case is `boolean[]`. It's more like hit 'n' miss. There are some array util methods which got it, but most don't. Very inconsistent to say the least. So `boolean` is out for conciseness' sake! A pity this project are kept at 7 locks. Alas... 😞 My only fear is that this pull request may end up being accepted! Oh the irony... 😩
