You can create arrays of compound variables, each array element is a
compound variable which may contain an array.
Such trees are only limited by memory size and were a driving force to
deliver a 64bit ksh93 shell in Solaris.
ksh93 -c 'compound container ; compound -A container.a1 ; compound -A
container.a1[foo].a2 ; compound -A container.a1[foo].a2[bar]=( integer
z=1 ) ; print -v container'
(
typeset -C -A a1=(
[foo]=(
typeset -C -A a2=(
[bar]=(
typeset -l -i z=1
)
)
)
)
)
http://svn.genunix.org/repos/on/branches/ksh93/gisburn/scripts/simplefiletree1.sh
is a demo application which builds such trees.
