Thanks, and...

> Right.  You got it.  That's what OO is about.

Well, I already had the OO part, just needed the ruby version of it :-) plus 
connecting the dots might help others stumbling along this way, and you 
never know it might turn out that your "consistency" comment was referring 
to something else I didn't see.

Anyhow, this discussion has been most helpful to alert me to all the 
capabilities that Array has, and calibrating my sense that a little bit of 
assembly required to implement collections with various features, they're 
not just in some library that "of course" everyone knows about and  uses :-)
