Question (more or less) about arrays

[Mark Smith]

Exactly. I really can't think of a better behaviour, however strange  
it is to have a large array appear empty when accessed directly.  
However, it might be a good idea to have a small list of the more  
'unintuitive' features of rev arrays in the user guide when they gvet  
around to the section on arrays. These things do catch people out.

Best,

Mark
