This bit that I really didn't like is where you synthesised a "ddf_%d" name
if the name field was empty. This is wrong.
There are a couple of other places where the name is extracted from the
ddf metadata: getinfo_super_ddf_bvd and container_content_ddf.
If brief_examine_subarrays_ddf uses the name in the same way following
the same rules (e.g. discarding trailing spaces) then that would be OK.
But if the name is empty, then no name should be given in the 'array' line.
