I wasn't sure if that was the case, from what I was seeing. Are there
any aggregate types at all?
There are arrays with string keys (similar to Python dictionaries).
Aggregate types are indeed a weak point, but still there are lists
(since ever) and dicts (since 8.5, ~6 years) with value semantics.
Arrays are distinct from dicts and provide no value semantics, i.e. you
cannot pass them around. Today these issues are overcome by using dicts
or some OO framework.
