Wouldn't it be nice to have arrays that only contained one element, then "auto expanded" based on a MAXDIM keyword?

There's an RFE for that ... one day ... one day ...

There are already existing RPG packages that provide dynamically sized
arrays for those who can't wait until someday. For example:

https://bitbucket.org/m1hael/arraylist/src/master/
https://github.com/RelicPackages/RPGDYNARR

And an even more flexible kind of data structure:

https://github.com/jerps/RpgMap

This isn't an exhaustive list. I know Mihael (author of the first
