What is the current point to empty/null associative arrays?

Try making fill array look more like this:

void fillArray(ref string[int] a) { a[10] = "A"; }

The issue is that an array (and/or associative array) is a value 
type. Basically, you can look at it as a struct with a pointer 
(and some extra info). If you don't pass it as a ref then 
reallocations (such as what happens when you add an item to an 
empty AA) will cause the two to not point to the same information 
anymore.
