Ted,

I like the idea of abstracting data structures.  Sadly, Cf3's current crop of 
data structure is limited such that JSON is overkill. Using current associative 
arrays the best I can achieve is a limited one dimensional array, perhaps with 
an index.  e.g

array[0]
array[0]
array[1]
array[1]
etc


The contents of these structures has a practical limit of scalars only.  
Technically you can embed a list but, no iteration is possible. Further it is 
not possible to index below the first level of keys. Still I'd like to see some 
more complex examples of what you had mind.
