Urgh. Sorry, didn't know about that. Hrmpf, do we have to make
`_long_options' accept these? Should we join `_arguments' and
`_long_options'? Hm.

Ah, sorry, I didn't test it with `[(I)...]'. So I think this is a real 
bug, to be fixed in C. I'd like to hear Bart about this, though,
because there was explicit code to turn empty array-subscripts into
non-arrays. Maybe the effect this had on associations subscripted with 
`[(I)...]' and `[(R)...]' was pure oversight, though.
