Hi,

I'd like to iterate over elements of an array. The elements are 
associative arrays. This is my code:

"""
#! /usr/bin/env zsh
emulate -R zsh

setopt nounset

declare -A elem AssocArr1 AssocArr2

AssocArr1=(key value1)
AssocArr2=(key value2)

array=($AssocArr1 $AssocArr2)

for elem in $array
    do echo $elem[key]
done
"""

./test.zsh:14: elem[key]: parameter not set

Thorsten
