Re: [perl #90240] keys(@array) gives too many indices

keys(@array) has a defined meaning that is consistent with the
array-as-unbroken-sequence model that is used in most places.  To change
it to implement the equivalent operation for the sparse-array model
would be disruptive.  We shouldn't do that.  If you really like the
discouraged sparse arrays and want a key-listing operation for them, you
should implement that as an XS module and put it on CPAN.  This ticket
should be closed.
