I'm still a little bit perplexed that there is not more advanced
array handling for RB :( I'm very used to being able to use simple
mixed arrays with definable keys to store my (usually small)
datasets for manipulation, like ( from php):
foo(0)=array{
"rowid" => "1",
"name" => "Mark",
"occupation" => "geek"
}
That's not an array, that's a "map" or "dictionary." It's a set of
key/value pairs. This is what the Dictionary class is for.
