Accessing primitive arrays

[Dobes Vandermeer <do...@dobesland.com>]

I've been searching for a while, but I haven't figured out how to access  
the contents of primitive arrays.

I have an int[] and I'd like to be able to fetch values out of it.

So far I've determined that []'s is a syntax error, and using .get() as if  
the array were a collection doesn't seem to work either.

Any idea how this is to be done?  I have a feeling I will eventually face  
a situation where I can't shuffle my variables around enough to avoid  
using the array directly...

Thanks,
Dobes

I couldn't find anything, either.  If you must use an array, I think it
would be easiest to make a tool for the access.

Something like:
public class ArrayTool {
  public Object get(int[] ints, int index) {
      return new Integer(ints[index]);
  }
}
so you can $arrays.get($primitiveArray, 3).
