bash-like arrays with busybox / ash

Hi all,
I just suprisingly found that latest busybox 1.13.3 seems not yet
support arrays like bash does, f.e. something like:

#!/bin/ash
url='http://....'
files=(`wget -q -O - $url`)
for ((i=0; i<${#files[*]}; i++)); do
  echo "$i - ${files[$i]}"
done

returns:
./getlist: line 3: syntax error: "(" unexpected

are there any plans to implement arrays soon?

thanks, Gün.
