Which cursors do not have their own records?
ReadOnly = false cursors?
or all cursors?

Essentially you're telling me that the cursor you get back when readonly =
false is internally a bitSet or an ArraySet.

   Is there a technical reason why you could not provide the functions:

       VCursor.AsArraySet() as VArraySet
       Vcursor.AsBitSet() as VBitSet

Which is different from the question:

   Is there a philisophical reason why you would NOT like to provide these
functions?
