That's what tie is for. Your object can store the two tied objects - the
array tie and the hash tie. Then you can dispatch to the appropriate
object when ->[] or ->{} is called.
Is there some reason this doesn't work? I'd like to know about it since
I'm planning to do something very similar for associative lists in
Guile.pm. Users should be able to access them as lists and as hashes, so
I'll have two tied objects per assoc list and use the appropriate one
depending on the method called.
