I'm a fan of associative arrays, having first used them in the Sail quite some
time ago. (Anyone else remember Sail?) However, I have to say I think
associative arrays would be serious overkill for sieve. Yes, I realize they're
powerful, but they introduce significant language and implementation
complexity.
