You really mean "more nearly seamlessly", because if it were already
seamless it couldn't get any more so.

It just occurred to me to hope that somewhere it's pointed out that if
more than one element matches the pattern, the one that gets replaced is
chosen effectively at random. That's one of the reasons I didn't include
this capability when I originally wrote the associative array code.
Which means that after
assoc[(i)alpha*]=bravo
it may be the case that
print $assoc[(i)alpha*]
does not output "bravo", but
print $assoc[(I)alpha*]
may print several things including "bravo".
