You've said what I tried to say, exactly.

Yep, cool.
I guess the problem I have with the approaches proposed so far
is that they suppose a special key type. I don't particularly
care if the op is called set_p_kp_* as long as the second p is
not in fact required to be some special key type. It could be
just any type whose value could be construed (by a compound
type pmc) as an index. In the simple cases, as an integer by
an array pmc and as a string by a hash pmc; in more complex
case, as a vector of indices by a multi-dim array.
Point is, a int/string/array pmc used that way need not
support any different vtable methods than plain ol'
int/string/array.
Right? Or am I overlooking something?
