[chuck-users] Getting the keys for an associative array

[Ge Wang]

Hi Mike!

You are totally right.  We don't any way to iterate through the contents 
of the associative side of arrays.  We will put that on the TODO list for 
1.2.0.6.

1.2.0.5 is very late (compared to earlier estimates), but will also have 
many more features than we thought.  We are hoping to get this out later 
this week.  Stay tuned.

Plans for 1.2.0.6 have already been solidified, more on that later.

Best,
Ge!
