I think there are probably quite a few that do that (use Array instead
of Object). Also, there is no true associative array functionality in
JavaScript as 'texts.length' will always return 0 if you use
'texts['foo'] = bar'
What exacerbates this issue is that the first search on Google for
'associative array javascript' suggests this use.
