Associative Arrays

[Dan]

Walter, what's happening with them?

Last I checked, I couldn't use practically anything of them:

const char[] TEXT_x = "x";
int[char[]] x;

x.length = 1; // doesn't work, no property length
x["hello"] = 1; // doesn't work, array out of bounds
x[TEXT_x] = 1; // doesn't work, array out of bounds

Also, there was a drowned out call by some folks to get static associative arrays.

What would be the primary blocker for that?  The use of pointers for hashing?

Is it possible to use opIndex etc to override associatives?
