RE: [sv-bc] array.find_index on wildcard-indexed associative arrays.

Dave,

Your assertion is incorrect. Vera supports both typed and index find
methods.

Jim,

This was mantis 1457 and is now in the P1800-2008 draft. It is illegal
to use a wildcard index with a find_index or foreach.

Essentially, there's no need to use the wildcard index type;  use a
typed index instead. The wildcard index was all that Vera supported.
