Instead, it cites several blog posts, Stack Overflow questions, and small code samples without digging in to the underlying reasons why developers are doing what they're doing. Most of the people discussing it so far seem to have had a tacit understanding that we wanted roughly Array-like access, but we haven't explicitly dug into which properties of an Array are important.</div><div><br></div><div>(If anyone involved feels like they had a different understanding of the use case, please speak up.)</div><div><br></div><div>I think this is a place where the proposal can be improved, and I'm willing to do some writing to improve it.</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>For the record, I would be happy to add co-authors (or even relinquish authorship entirely—I don't really care whose name is on this, it just needs to happen!) if you or anyone else has improved wording, motivation, justification, etc. to contribute.</div></div></div></div>
