Actually, this is not inconsistent with how javascript handles arrays. If you do the following:
var arr = []; arr[5] = 'foo'; Then the array will fill up with undefined values up to the 5th position, where it places 'foo'. So you will get: [undefined,undefined,undefined,undefined,undefined,'foo']; and you are able to iterate over them.
