Remember that these are really associative arrays (à la maps in C++ STL, hashes in Perl, dictionaries in Python, etc.).  So while your example implies a zero-based integer key, that's not necessarily the case.

We could treat it that missing keys are implied to count from zero, and then provide a syntax for specifying keys explicitly as well.
	global sig_num_to_name = { 1:"SIGHUP", 2:"SIGINT", ...}
	global sig_name_to_num = { "SIGHUP":1, "SIGINT":2, ...}
	global times_table = { [1,2]:2, [5,6]:30, ...}
