> I wouldn't interpret anonymous arrays as "dictionary with keys", especially if the keys have the names value and next. Depends how you implement "dictionaries". The arrays here are homogenous 2-tuples with constant indices value=0 and next=1 So $aref->[VALUE] is just another implementation (just far more efficient than hashes are) (updated) not sure what the generic and neutral definition of "dictionary" is, but imho it's not necessarily a hashmap like in perl Lisp for instance has name=>value pairs implemented as association list. But I have to admit that you as a non-emacs user might be handicapped in this respect ;-p xD
