I'm not so sure.

Observation:

> print someDynArray.length
10                               // works

char[5] cArray = "Hello";        // Let's try C like fixed length 
array

> print cArray[3]
'l'                              // works

I'm not that sure dyn arrays have no [] (or index or whatever 
it's called) operator. In the end they are just arrays with smart 
housekeeping behind the curtains and some methods (like "length").

I'm looking forward to hear and learn from Iain.
