Hi guys,

I managed to perform a regression test on my use of associative arrays.  Everything works up until you start trying to use operator overrides on an item within the associative array.

For example, if I use Value[char[]], and Value has opCall(int), and I try to:

Value[char[]] x = 3;

That will give me an Error: Access Violation.
But this works:

Value x = 3;

I'm assuming I need to do something else for this then, perhaps override opIndex() ?

> Value[char[]] x = 3;

oops... bad example.  I meant:

Value[char[]] x;
x["hello"] = 3;

Not tested, but I think you need to do:

Value[char[]] x;
x["hello"] = Value.init; // or new Value() if Value is a class
x["hello"] = 3;

Or something similar. It seems to me that what happens is that x["hello"] = 3; is converted into x["hello"].opCall(3); but since the key "hello" doesn't exist in x, it fails. So you need to init the value first.
