Hi, what is the benefit of extending the support for these "native" arrays that you describe as opposed to leaving them as they are in favor of the supported ArrayFS / FSArray approach?
Afaik, the "elementType" metadata should be available for any multi-valued type (ArrayFS and friends, FSArray and friends, FSList and friends ListFS and friends). I didn't think it was limited to "native" arrays.
