[chuck-users] Ragged object array

[Dana Batali]

One more note on David's suggestion.
I didn't really want to keep separately named subarrays around (here, a and
b) and found the following variation to work.

int meta[2][0];
[0, 1, 2, 3] @=> int b[];
[10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15] @=> int c[];
b @=> meta[0];
c @=> meta[1];

for(int j; j< meta.size(); j++)
{
    for (int i; i< meta[j].size(); i++)
        <<< " meta[", j, ",", i, "] ==", meta[j][i] >>>;
}

Regards, Dana
