[sv-ec] Randomizing size of associative arrays

Hi folks,

Is it intended to be able to constrain and randomize the size of an associative 
array? Draft 4 sec. 17.4 p385 paragraph 3 talks about constraining the size of a
dynamic array, but not an associative array. In the absence of any other
language, one would naturally assume that the intention was not to allow
constraining the size of an associative array. However, section 17.5.7 p.393 
paragraph 6 uses very similar language, but does include associative arrays. If 
the intent is to allow randomizing the size of an associative array, I'd like to 
hear how it was supposed to work - I'm having trouble imagining anything useful, 
particularly for non-integral index types. On the other hand, it would certainly 
be useful for associative array randomization to preserve existing size and 
indices, and only randomize the values.

If there's a mantis on this already, I'd like to address it in this round. If 
not, I'd like to know so I can submit one.

Thanks,
Mike
