This is something I've been meaning to track down and systematize
sometime...

Properly I think arrays should probably expanded the long way, that
is,

   foo.bar = "stuff"
   foo.baz.0 = 1
   foo.baz.1 = 6
   foo.baz.2 = 7
      :

because while it's slightly silly for arrays of int, it's really the
only viable approach if you have arrays of complex structures.
