It my case it was "ignorance about arrays" that may my head hurt.
It would nice if the dictionary's "associations" include every keyword related. For example, search on array" One find zero reference to extents But I found them the user guide 1) Chapter on Arrays 2) Section on Processing Text and Data -- using arrays we can find out about: combine intersects add delete variable divide keys element matrix multiply split sum tranpose union to keep it simple those could "Related" under Associative Array.
