I think you may have misinterpreted this. As far as I can tell,
they're not contrasting "boxed arrays" and "unboxed arrays", but boxed
representations - typed objects, which point to each other - with
arrays.

I take the term "unboxed array-base implementations" to mean "unboxed
(i.e. array-based) implementations".

I haven't read the article in detail.
