For the record, I definitely want hash array functionality.
I also want the ability to convert to and from paired value lists
{{"a",1},{"b",2},{"c",3}} to records {a:1,b:2,c:3}, to use variables for
labels (set x to "b" then lookup x in the previous record to get 2), to
convert to and from URL encoded format a la Tanaka's MT Parse CGI and MT Pack
CGI (a=1&b=2&c=3) and to convert to and from XML.
And the ability to sort, whose clauses, and to remove items based on
conditionals.
All with the blazing speed which comes from being built into the language.
I'd add more, but I'm too busy scripting work-arounds to these limitations to
have free time.
