And? If A and B were not indexed properties, your "argument" would
still hold.

This is one thing that i miss so much, i break the golden rule for it
(at least for my internal stuff), ie returning arrays.

There's no issue for the compiler to correctly identify and resolve

  foo = myObj.A[ i ];
  bar = myObj.B[ j ];

beyond what it already does for regular properties.
