 Walter, what's happening with them?
 
 Last I checked, I couldn't use practically anything of them:
 
 const char[] TEXT_x = "x";
 int[char[]] x;
 
 x.length = 1; // doesn't work, no property length


Of course it doesn't.  You can't set the length of an AA:
- you can't use it to add elements, because an AA element cannot exist without
a key
- you can't use it to remove elements, as how would it know which to remove?

 x["hello"] = 1; // doesn't work, array out of bounds
 x[TEXT_x] = 1; // doesn't work, array out of bounds


Works for me (DMD 1.009, Win98SE).  Which version and OS are causing a problem
for you?

 Is it possible to use opIndex etc to override associatives?


What do you mean?
