Hi Nordlow,

Associative Arrays are introduced in Ali Çehreli's great book, 
Programming in D – Tutorial and Reference, Ch. 28; and in Section 
1.4 of Andrei Alexandrescu's equally great "The D Programming 
Language."  Ali's book is at

The particular data structure I'd like to implement is not a 
simple hash, but rather a mixture of relational, key-value, 
columnstore and document database structures.  I"ll share it 
after I've "hashed" it out, and thought of a cool name for it!
