     What you must really realize is that you didn't understand the
documentation. It could have read "The behaviour of # is undefined if
there are holes in the array". But instead it tried to explain what
that undefined behaviour would look like, and that confused you.
     So, to make things clearer, don't use # if you have holes (nils)
in the array. Period.
