I do get the point, though: Whatever is introduced should be supported consistently. But that is already in the works, if arrays will indeed have the same size/cardinality-related property as collections. The negative example is Java, where you have length, length(), size() and many other things. JavaScript is still fairly uniform, with the DOM being the exception. -- Dr. Axel Rauschmayer a...@rauschma.de home: rauschma.de twitter: twitter.com/rauschma blog: 2ality.com
