I agree Adam. And the reason it hasn't been demanded by more users is that

dynamically sized arrays isn't as important in the standard data
processing
world (which is where the i5 lives).

It isn't so much the dynamic size which I find useful as the ability to use

associative arrays with text strings (or whatever) as the index value.  I
first ran across this in AWK, and it is incredibly useful to have
multi-dimensional associative arrays.  But I agree the reason it doesn't
exist is because people haven't asked for it, not because the system is
underpowered to implement it.

And RPG programmers haven't asked for it in part because many of them don't

know what they are missing.  :)
