It would be very helpful if there were also a MAP where you could use integers as keys.

Currently I'm using maps most of the time with unique ID numbers as map key.
But always need to convert them to ID strings first, which could be avoided if this wish come true

I always use Str(IntValue) because this is not possible otherwise.

How about:
How about:
Code: Select all
;Create a map based on #PB Type:
NewMap Country.s(#PB_Integer)
NewMap Country.s(#PB_Float)
NewMap Country.s(#PB_Byte)
NewMap Country.s(#PB_Double)
;...
;-> MapType() -> returns the Type

Code: Select all
;Create a map of either String or Integer type, #PB_Default used for slots = 512 and for type = #PB_String
NewMap name.<type>([Slots | #PB_Default [, #PB_String | #PB_Integer | #PB_Default]])
MapType(Map()) -> returns either #PB_String or #PB_IntegerRe: Map with integer key

I think you are asking for something like this, to use in the meantime:

no but you can use the numeric functions of squint for that.

I, too, would like this feature... However...
Consider their focus at the moment: it's fully on the alpha release. My bet is that if you do get a reply, it will be something like "we may evaluate new features after the C backend is released".
It's not really reasonable to think they are going to put the alpha release on hold to add a feature request that is two years old... Especially when there are at least two libraries on the forum that do what you have asked for.
Has Fred written in any threads not related to the alpha this month?
