hello,

by true namerefs, you talk about the ability yo create nested
structures? something like

    nicknames=( joe bob henry )
    local -A anonymous=(
        realname "John Doe"
        nicknames ${&nicknames}
    )

so
    $anymous[nicknames][2] == "bob"

if it so, this would be awesome indeed ...

regards
