Which is true?
The FORM scope (and all other scopes) are plain-jane structs - there's no real difference between them and a struct()-generated structure. You can use all the struct functions on scopes. A query is more complex: it's actually a structure of arrays (each column is an array). You can't use many of the struct functions on queries however, but you can use most of the array functions on query columns. I'm not sure if this makes it better or worse, but there it is.
