title: Literal array with indices?
body: <p>With Bash you can <a href="http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/arrays.html" rel="nofollow"><strong>assign an array</strong></a> and specify the index for each element like so</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-sh prettyprint-override"><code>$ area3=([17]=seventeen [24]=twenty-four)
  
  $ echo ${area3[17]}
  seventeen
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The question is, does JavaScript have such a notation, possibly JSON?</p>
