Some friends and I were preparing to teach a workshop a few weeks ago and while looking through the [table] help file we saw:

[array]: (newer and better replacement for "table")

which inspired some questions..

Basically: is [array] simply a nicer wrapper for an "array" (menu: put -> array) or is the underlying data structure different?

I see if you create an object [array define] you get an object that opens a window on click, subpatch style, into a visualization of that array, but inside that window you can't edit properties (though maybe that is a bug because when I go to properties I get a message: "array: no method for 'done-popup'" in the main window).

Thanks,
Alex
