The docs state that an array is an Object, so it's within the realm of possible, by my current guess is that it's not possible to cast an Object to an array so that I can invoke, eg, it's size method.

Any comments appreciated!  

Thanks in advance, Dana

Here's some not-quite working code:

// this part works.

Object @ meta[]; // an array of arrays of objects (ragged)

for(int i;i<10;i++)
{
    Object subarray[0];
    meta << subarray;
}

// here's the problem:

// <<< "element[2] size: " , meta[2].size() >>>; 

// so the solution must involve a cast operation

// but this produces a syntax error

(meta[2] $ Object[]) @=> Object a[];
<<< a.size() >>>;
