@node main "Introduction to associativeArray"

Dynamic, one-dimensional, ordered array for storing things whose indices
fit any of these criteria:  1) are non-numeric (most popular index type is
a string), 2) are not consecutive and/or have big gaps between values
(commonly known as sparse arrays), 3) order cannot be simply determined by
builtin E arithmetic operators (=<>).  Basically any index type that is not
the typical positive integer from 0 to MAXLONG.

There is are three examples, they are practically like those provided by
Barry Wills.
