Hashes not yet supported?

[Joaquin Menchaca]

My basic hash test doesn't work. :'(

PASH /Users/testuser/pubarea/script-tut/powershell> h00.associative.ps1
The expression type 'System.Management.Automation.Language.IndexExpressionAst' is currently not supported for assignments
  +CategoryInfo: InvalidOperation, Reason: NotImplementedException

PASH /Users/testuser/pubarea/script-tut/powershell> cat h00.associative.ps1
# create empty hash
$ages = @{}
# individually build hash
$ages["bob"]=34
$ages["ed"]=58
$ages["steve"]=32
$ages["ralph"]=23
$ages["deb"]=46
$ages["kate"]=19
# print out results
"Keys  (names): " + $ages.keys    # print enumerated list of keys
"Values (ages): " + $ages.values  # print enumerated list of values

Also...

  " ages[$name]=" + $ages[$name]  # print out each element
}

The missing feature of concatenating Hashsets will be part of a commit that will find its way to the project in the next days. Then this should work

Oh, and the feature with indexing a Hashset via [] will also be part of that commit.

I hope it is alright that I express:
