Arrays are further subdivided into strings, vectors, char-tables and bool-vectors. Vectors can hold elements of any type, but string elements must be characters, and bool-vector elements must be @code{t} -or @code{nil}. The characters in a string can have text properties like -characters in a buffer (@pxref{Text Properties}); vectors and -bool-vectors do not support text properties even when their elements -happen to be characters.
