Summary: can't index arrays with long

Initial Comment:

It's very 32-bit to not allow an array to be indexed with 
a long. 

Seems collections of all sorts should allow long for 
indexing. (Yes, I do deal with rather large collections.)

But I get:

Object testFunc(long arg, Object[] arr) {
  return arr[arg];
}

~\My Documents\flash\nicetest\dfdl\main.nice: line 44, 
column 13:
No possible call for get.
Arguments: (Object[], nice.lang.long)
Possibilities:
(nice.lang.int, nice.lang.int) get(dfdl.ByteFromBitsState 
this, ByteFromBitsState state)
nice.lang.int get(java.util.Calendar, nice.lang.int)
nice.lang.char get(String s, int index)
nice.lang.boolean get(long x, int bit)
<K, K0, V0, V | K <: K0, V <: ?V0> ?V0 get
(nice.lang.Map<K, V>, K0)
<T> T get(nice.lang.List<T>, int)
<T, V> V get(Field, T)
nice.lang.double get(nice.lang.Array<double>, int)
nice.lang.float get(nice.lang.Array<float>, int)
nice.lang.char get(nice.lang.Array<char>, int)
nice.lang.long get(nice.lang.Array<long>, int)
nice.lang.int get(nice.lang.Array<int>, int)
nice.lang.short get(nice.lang.Array<short>, int)
nice.lang.byte get(nice.lang.Array<byte>, int)
nice.lang.boolean get(nice.lang.Array<boolean>, int)
<T> T get(nice.lang.Array<T>, int)
