just had an ugly thought. if say php represented the above as it's
native array type, it would be problematic for them to add duplicate
keys. ouch. so this won't cut it. so even for php this has to be four
objects three single node arrays in an array. (by the way it looks like
php just calls its combined list-map thing an array)

well, i can't say i mind this too much. it does give a way to do ordered
pairs, even if not represented natively. ummm...but it would make it
difficult to serialize a php array, you would need a special type. 6 of
one, 1/2 dozen of another.

there's got to be a right way for all of this....
