No, it isn't. What you've got is a 2-D array. I don't think there
is an operation that will produce a 1-D subset --- the array slice
subscript operation produces something that's smaller but still has
the same number of dimensions.
Thanks for the explanation and confirmation. I end up iterating over
the elements of the subarray, so I worked around it by iterating over
this_array[1][i].
