Could you expand on this?

I understand that the optimization is performed if a fixnum is used  
to index the tuple and if the updates are done within the same  
function. This is what I remember form your previous explanation. Is  
this correct?

Then all I want to do is include in the optimization the case where  
indexing is done using a local variable, within the same function.

I firmly believe that a little poking around in this area will be  
worth it big time. I also need this type of deforesting for my  
trading systems platform.

	Thanks, Joel
