Yes and I am willing to update the documentation in these cases. However,
there is this one question whenever such a point is found: where to put the
missing information?

If it's OK with you and Benoit doesn't know a better place, I will put notes
on the ! operator into the _put special method documentation and link to it
from the Collection and Result classes which are the most popular ones who
use String-based indexing, so that a newbie may stumble upon them. Not ideal
but I think we don't have a dedicated page for array accessors (because there
are just these two -- AFAIK).

Or should I create a new "Array operators" page in the language index?

Regards,
Tobi
