Yes it did in the sense that I didn't step back to realize that I
could hard code for loops as deep as the hierarchy is likely to go
... there has to be a more eloquent way of doing it, a function that
will call itself and operate on each array until it finds that it
can't go any deeper ... but for now I'll have to live like an ASCII
artist.
