Why doesn't Rebindable allow associative arrays?

an associative array doesn't pass the isArray test
isArray!(string[]) // true
isArray!(string[string]) // false
Not sure if there is some inherent reason why but I would
venture
to say it is a bug.
What's the point of using Rebindable for a non-[class|interface]
type? They are the only type where it makes sense, since you
can't give different qualifiers to the handler and the object.
I'm surprised it even handles arrays at all. As a matter of fact,
the documentation says:
"However, Rebindable!(T) does not compile if T is a non-class
type."
If arrays worked, I think it was buggy behavior. There's no sense
in having a Rebindable array.
