	   Now consider the array assignment  Y(A[.]) := 2 .  :-)

	 Umm, I will admit my ignorance.  Could you explain this joke?  --Mitch

      My notation was obscure, if not erroneous.  By A[.] I meant the
      array A considered as a unary function.  So the assignment means
      to change A so that its fixed point (or at least one of them) is 2.
      Assuming a principle of least change, that means the same as
      A[2] := 2.  (Do you agree?)

   I guess so. :-)  --Mitch
