That would be useful. I'm currently trying to do a line-by-line 
transcription of a CPU emulator that somebody's been misguided enough to 
write in JavaScript. Being able to deal concisely with things like

     this.memMod = [ // Array of memory module words as Float64s (8 x 
4KW each)
         null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null];

would be a decided advantage.
