Sean-
That makes sense, but it's a bad paradigm (IMO) for the same reason that
using real data for database indexes is a bad idea unless it just gets
written once and doesn't need maintenance.
What happens when a folder or a file gets renamed? You have to work your
way through the array finding out where the old name is, carefully
extract any data residing there, delete the old array element, and
insert a new element containing the old data. Trust me, this is a
pain... having just gone through this with the styledText array of field
contents.
