Good point.  Since JavaScript doesn't actually have "associative
arrays", it would really make more sense to initialize this with:

this.aMaps = new Object();

Then, folks wouldn't be tempted to use Array properties like length.

Right, this is a typical problem when people are accessing what are
really just properties of an Object (instead of elements in an Array).
You'd also get unexpected results if you tried to use Array specific
methods like join(), shift(), sort(), etc.
