It occurs to me that in some ideal sense, it might be nice to have the language figure out the context. For instance, if $user[5] is supposed to mean 'user' number 5, shouldn't that imply that the array name then be @users? I make no claims as to the rationality of this, let alone what it would take to implement same--just a momentary notion (possibly a stroke pre-cursor!) --hsm "Never try to teach a pig to sing...it wastes your time and it annoys the pig."
