Really? So there's no pattern whatsoever to the array? Can you expand
that description?

I have used N-node trees for quite a few little experiments, and they
are a type of data that does not simply fit into a sequence...
It ended up becoming a sequence of "nodes", where an element in the
node contained the index of the node's parent, and an element
contained the indexes of all the node's children.
Homogenous. Every top-level element had the same structure.


(Maybe homogenous is not the correct word.. I dunno... )
