======Synopsis:======
$__numarrays__()

======Technical:======
This function shows the total number of arrays created by $[[setitem]]().
It takes no arguments, and ignores any passed to it.

======Practical:======
This function is used to show how many arrays currently exist.  This
might be useful if the arrays were named in a sequential order, thus
allowing you to know what the next available number is.

======Returns:======
<file>
> 0   number of current arrays
  0   no arrays found
</file>
