The recent discussion of a Unicode version of Icon and Unicode csets lead me
to look at the Jcon implementation of 8 bit csets. A Jcon cset is
represented using four long (i.e. 64 bit) integers, declared as follows:
long w1, w2, w3, w4; // four words of cset bits
What I do not understand is why these four longs are represented as separate
members, rather than as an array of longs:
long[ ] w = new long[4]; // four words of cset bits
Is there some peculiarity about Java that would prohibit this?
