+indices, but are sparse.
 Both types of collections can contain members of atomic or collection types. Structures contain a finite number of elements. Arrays contain a varying number of elements. Structures and arrays can both recursively reference other structures and arrays in addition to atomic values. Arrays can be nested to provide multi-dimensional indexing.
 
 Due to the dynamic, highly parallel nature of Swift, its arrays have no notion of size. Array elements can be set as a script's execution progresses. The number of elements set increases monotonically. An array is considered ``closed'' when no further statements that set an element of the array can be executed. This state is recognized at run time by information obtained from compile-time analysis of the script's call graph. Also, since all data elements have single-assignment semantics, no garbage collection issues arise.
