I wanted arrays that would use strings as their indices.  I also
wanted a way to apply certain actions to all members of a given array.
What I would like to have is something like the following:

void MyArray::apply(int (*f)(String,String))

In English, I'd like to pass a pointer to a function.  G++ loudly
objects to the above definition.

Anyone got ideas?

Thanks in advance,
