  I think the comment is wrong:
  // an associative array of strings indexed by integers, default null string
      string words [int] = {default: ''foo''};
  it is indexed by '"int's" and not integers

  and also
      integer table [string] = {"Peter":20, "Paul":22, "Mary":23, default:-1 };
  should really be
    int table [string] = {"Peter":20, "Paul":22, "Mary":23, default:-1 };
  as I can't see why we should be proliferating 4 state and not 2 state variables as 4 state with associative arrays may be inefficient.

  I think we need to remove all uses of 'integer' in the documentation where 'int' is all that is needed - we need to ensure that people get more used to using more efficient constructs.
