Yes, I intentionally steered clear of the struct & dictionary array specifically because they don't encode the type of the values they contain (which make sense, it seems easy to end up with enormous deeply nested types describing structs of structs of dictionaries of structs etc.). Any value would likely end up being per-element-trait-objects, similar to the Datum type that has been discussed in other Pull Requests. Surprisingly, List turned out to not cause me any grief, as it just returns an ArrayRef. I'm close this Pull Request and experiment more on my branch.
