Sorry, but it is already present at scheme level in guile :)

You can easily check this:
	(define A #2e((1 2) (3 4)))
	(array-contents A) ;=> #e(1 2 3 4)

There exists corresponding C function, of course.

Thus, after application of ARRAY-CONTENTS you get uniform-vector.
Of course, you can get a pointer to the first element of it
(by the way, I do not know a politically correct way to do this - I
use 
	gh_cdr(uve)
although I'm sure there must be better way).
