Array access operator applied to string results in internal compiler error

[supercooldave]

Compiling the following class

active class Main
  def main() : unit
    val str = "foo"
    str(0)
  end 
end

results in the internal error

encorec: No match in record selector argTypes

I suspect this is due to trying to use array access (0) on the string.
(It would be nice to use str(n) to access elements of the string.)

Notably, strings are not arrays. They are objects. Eventually, strings should and will support this operations if we chose to go ahead with RFC #591.

Parsing strings is hard. But I now see that I can convert a string into an array of chars.

(Obviously, this has nothing to do with your compiler error which is weird.)
