I have code roughly like the following:

uint[ dstring] ordinals;
}
//and
Decls.ordinals[ str ] = ordinal_counter++;
The problem is that it always returns ordinal== -1 from the
expression. Can you sort me out?
Impossible to tell without a complete repro, I'm afraid. The
expression, at least, looks correct at first glance.
Note that you can do `uint ordinal = Decls.ordinals.get(str,
-1);`.
