It's "real", but it is NOT *within* another array. In Rev, you cannot do something equivalent to
put "abc" into a[1] put "def" into a[2]
put "ghi" into b["z"] put a into b["y"]
which you can (with different syntax) in Perl, Python, (I think) Ruby, ....
Or in Lingo -
myVar = [#check: [#this: [#out: "Cool"]]]
put myVar.check.this.out -- "Cool"
put myVar[1][1][1] -- "Cool"
People will debate the usefulness of such constructs, but I have yet to see anything in Transcript which is nearly so elegant for complex iterative evaluations. I strongly believe that Transcript needs this type of data structuring... but then of course, I don't let go easily to what I've learned and switch to what some Rev users would consider more "native" data management techniques which *are* available, though *much* more "wordy" to get there, and certainly do not iterate as elegantly.
