Aside from that being how Python does it, why do you see that as preferable? I see both arrays and associative arrays as things that map an input value to an output value. The only significant differences are the implementation details, and the fact that regular arrays are more restrictive in their sets of valid inputs (must be integers, must start with 0, and must all be consecutive values). So having a single syntax work on the outputs for regular arrays, but then on the inputs for AAs, seems highly inconsistent and error-prone to me.
