You could argue that. The handling of NULL arrays (not to mention NULLs
in arrays) is pretty brain-d^H^H^H^H^H^Hsimplistic; I don't think the
original designer thought about NULLs at all.
All of the array code could use an overhaul, actually, to move it out of
the student-project category and into the professional-tool category.
I've taken occasional swipes at it over the past couple of years, but
it still leaves a lot to be desired. Any volunteers out there?
