} We probably need to decide which to support at some point.
It would be a pretty major rewrite to support sparse arrays, we do all
sorts of things based on the idea that a zsh array is basically the
same as an argv in C. (Bash, I believe, uses linked lists.)
Of course to be "traditional" about it, we'd do it the ksh way when
KSH_ARRAYS and the bash way when ... something else.
