int[char[]] m = { "one":1, "two":2 };

It could be extremely nice to have them...
( keeeping also in mind Matthew's enum2str
implementation )

I think that they could be implemented
internally as sorted (at compile time) key/value pairs
with binary search lookup.

As far as I can see they fit
in grammar without any changes.

I impatiently look forward for all the static array initialization solutions.
