Sure you would. The former is exactly what I'd envision. Just like you a Vector (though without the Iterator). The array would be totally hidden inside the Vector CFC - the calling code would never know there's an array in there (vs a linked list, or a backing DB table). Just the index-based accessors and mutators.
