Subject: Is ${#array} supposed to work with ksharrays?
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Try these two functions in 4.0.1-pre-2:

right() {
  setopt noksharrays
  local -a array
  repeat 10 array[$#array+1]=x
  print -l $array
}

wrong() {
  setopt ksharrays
  local -a array
  repeat 10 array[${#array}]=x
  print -l $array
}

It appears that ${#array} always returns 1 when ksharrays is set.  Should it?
