Compacting means to remove the null / undefined indices from the array in order to make consuming the resultant array more predictable (no worry of null-reference errors, "NRE"). Having been away from desk most of the week, I'm super itchy to write some CFML. As such, I thought it would be a fun code kata to write an array compacting function in ColdFusion.
