By the way, why is it called "associative array"? A name like Hash or 
Map would be much better. Everyone knows what a Hash means. I don't see 
anyone using "associative array" to refer to a Hash. And I think this is 
the source of the confusion Chris has...

I mean, you can't append to an associate array. What part of it makes it 
an "array"?
