In passing, I was unpleasantly surprised to find that oorexx supports only 1-origin subscripting for its array class, thus making it very difficult to move from the more general but slower and arguably less rigorous use of stems for collections that would otherwise be a good match for arrays. To say nothing of the complete ideological incompatibility with C/C++ thus created, or at least demonstrated.
