My C++ program supplies to V8 javascript code objects that represent
some internal data structures.  Some of these data structures are in
fact arrays of other objects.  I have implemented the 'length'
accessor and the indexed property interceptor.  This has been working
for a while now like this:

for(var i = 0; i < list.length; ++i)
    ... using list[i]

I would like to get this working as well:

for(elem in list)
    ... do something with elem

If I just do the above, elem will take on the values of the names of
the accessors installed in the ObjectTemplate.  (length and a couple
of other unrelated accessors).  This makes sense as it is enumerating
it as an object, not an array.

To fix this I created an call back and installed it with
objtmpl->SetIndexedPropertyHandler(V8Get,0,0,0,V8Enum)
(V8Enum is the new function, V8Get has been there all along.

In the V8Enum function I create an array, add all the values to the
array and return it.

For reference this is the function (with app specific stuff elided to
keep it simple):

Handle<Array> V8Enum(const AccessorInfo& ai)
{
        int sz = ...;
        Handle<Array> arry = Array::New(sz);
        for(int i = 0; i < sz; ++i)
                arry->Set( V8Int(i), ...);
        return arry;
}


The V8Enum function is being called.  However the javascript
enumeration is still seeing the names of the template accessors and
not the array elements being returned.

Am I misinterpreting how this is supposed to work?
