no but hash can have property that tells how to turn its keys to integer indexes if it fins itself in the ^[op] situation . just like %hash can have a property that tells it how to behave in regexp /<%hash>/ . And then just like here there may be some default value for that property . I dont know what it should be . is it sane ? %hash is if_in_vectorized_op_map_keys_to_integers_as { <some function returning integer> } arcadi .
