This might be a problem worth fixing generally, if possible, so it's solved for other library-defined collections too. > I'm also > seriously considering forcing *all* AA keys to be immutable, in which > case this will become a non-issue.

Ah, another usage for my "static static" (or for the @templated()).

I agree! > - I haven't stress-tested AA performance yet. (Any volunteers? ;-)) I have several benchmarks, but you can start quickly adapting this one, comparing the performance of the built-in AAs with your ones: http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Sokoban#D Bye, bearophile
