Problem:
Creating implicit N-D arrays without explicit initialization creates structures for unintiallized array elements
Method:
//simple example (mxunit)function arrayBug(){  a = [];    // a[1] = arrayNew(1); this makes it OK  a[1][1] = [1,2,3];  a[1][2] = [3,4,5];    //skip initialization of a[2] and go right to a[2][n], which creates a struct with an array member  //a[2] = arrayNew(1); this makes it OK  a[2][1] = [1,2,3];  a[2][2] = [3,4,5];  a[2][3] = [6,7,8];    debug(a);    assertTrue( isStruct(a[1]) , "This passes. But should be an array or throw exception."  );  }
Result:
Depends on how array elements are referred to.
