Right. I've already thought implementing something similar to emulate
transparently more than one-dimensional arrays as Table columns. However,
for a series of reasons, I prefer to wait until recarray objects support
that natively.

Meanwhile, you can effectively deal with multimensional arrays in your
suggested way.

ed.
May I ask which is yours?
