Hi,

Yesterday I asked for an Erlang enhancement, such that I could
specify something like:

  ape.getmemb('johnie').getmemb('leg').toe2

In the meantime I did some "re-inventing the wheel", and found out
how to tackle such things in a functional way.
Also www.erlang.org/user.html#assoc-1.2 offered inspiration, and
I'm happy now about the subject of "associative arrays".

By the way: I suppose that really enhancing Erlang is unpalatable,
because of the big installed base?

Kind regards,
Wouter Boeke
