That's the truth

I like this suggestion.  That way, it could also return fvect, or
even some other type of vector.

Also, since the lease will contain information about the type of
array, and the type of object it might be possible to just have
"gh_unlease" instead of gh_unlease_double, gh_unlease_long, &c.
