I guess I should reply to myself and say why this works. At some point the
feature was added that you could use an array as an index into an array.
The format is a one based ordered array of keys. So tPath[1] is the first
level key, tPath[2] is the second level, etc. If you wanted to get
tTree["one"]["two"] then tPath[1]="one" and tPath[2]="two" so you could
just get tTree[tPath]. Since comma is the default path delimiter (which
can be changed), you can use split to turn a path list into a path array.
I never heard of this! Thanks.
p.s I can not find any reference to this 'feature' in the 9.6.2rc5
dictionary. Do you know if this is documented anywhere?
