I'm finding ArrayMixin quite interesting, but I'm still stuck not seeing
how this kind of reimplementation relates to the Perl tie functionality.

Can anyone help me out with an example or problem where Ruby (as it
currently is) does not already allow us to do what we might do with
Perl tie, with about the same amount of work?  (Perl: define STORE,
Ruby: (re)define #[]=, etc.)  I seem to be absolutely unable to see
it.

Thanks --
