I agree. I also think that for the moment there is no other way to handle
arrays. Therefore, using the arrays in a form will require special handling
for saves etc... Of course this is not difficult to do - thanks to all the
bizobj hooks (beforeNew,beforeSave, afterSave, afterRequery etc...) that are
provided. When creating the bizobj class these hook methods can be used to
deal with the data. Also I suspect that virtual fields will help too.
