	int[string] aa, bb;
	bb = aa;
	aa["abc"] = 123;
	assert(bb["abc"] == 123);	// assertion fails

The following works:

	int[string] aa, bb;
	aa["def"] = 456;
	bb = aa;
	aa["abc"] = 123;
	assert(bb["abc"] == 123);	// OK

Nope.
 int[string] aa, bb;
aa == bb == null
 bb = aa;
same
 aa["abc"] = 123;
A new AA is created.
 assert(bb["abc"] == 123); // assertion fails
B is still null

OK good. That means I don't have to fix my AA implementation. :-P
 int[string] aa, bb;
aa == bb == null
Ahh, I see.
 bb = aa;
same
 aa["abc"] = 123;

OK, makes sense.
 assert(bb["abc"] == 123); // assertion fails
B is still null
Righto. T -- Be in denial for long enough, and one day you'll deny yourself of things you wish you hadn't.
