Hmmm, from the awk man page:
ARGV Array of command line arguments. The array is
indexed from 0 to ARGC - 1. Dynamically
changing the contents of ARGV can control the
files used for data.
[.....]
array x which is indexed by the string "A\034B\034C". All
arrays in AWK are associative, i.e. indexed by string val-
ues.
I can't claim to know much (practically) about arrays in awk - when
you get to that level, a C program is really in order ;-) But from
the docs, it seems that arrays are sparce and can effectively begin
with anything.
