(* Some notation for array lookups *)
Notation "f '#' i " := (arrayLookup _ f i) (at level 70) : array_scope.(* A special case for array lookup when the range is lists -- returns nil instead of None when not found.  This is useful for multidimensional arrays. *)
Definition arrayLookupList(A B : Set)(eqd : EqDec A)(ls : list (A * (list B)))(a : A) :=
    match (arrayLookup _ ls a) with
      | None => nil
      | Some ls => ls
    end.Fixpoint arrayLookupOpt(A B : Set)(eqd : EqDec A)(ls : list (option (A * B)))(a : A) :=
