Admittedly, the wording in the manual makes it possible for a reader to
misinterpret it, if he is determined to do so.  I have changed it to
read

    A @dfn{bool-vector} is a one-dimensional array whose elements must
  be @code{t} or @code{nil}.

which should be less ambiguous.  Thus, I'm closing this bug.
