Great! This will need compiler restructuring, and in fact offers the 
perfect opportunity for it. I suggest you to post your implementation 
here for review first, and assume only the minimal lowerings from the 
compiler.

Here's something that I thinks we should have:

int[string] aa;
char[] b;
...
aa[b] = 42;

The implementation should be clever enough to work, and only duplicate 
the string if it wasn't already present.


Thanks,

Andrei
