RE: [sv-ec] 5.15 Array manipulation methods - question

Yes, Arturo had already corrected me.

I'm sorry I confused you further, but the original issue remains.

My understanding is now that all of these methods return one dimensional
queues, regardless of the number of dimensions in the array they are
being evaluated upon. They are simply building a list of matches.

It would seem to me that any of the _index methods must be restricted to
scanning through only one dimension, the first dimension, at a time.

Methods that the LRM says return "the element" or "the index", like
first/last/min/max, actually return a queue of one element, or an empty
queue.
