           Summary: .dup for associative arrays

Since associative arrays are reference types, the language currently doesn't
provide a straight-forward way to duplicate an associative array. As a small
enhancement towards general language consistency, I would like to suggest a
.dup property, like for dynamic arrays, which returns a copy of the associative
array.
