Quotes Required Around Keys in 2 Dimensional Arrays?

This script passes an array as parameter to another handler. Is there 
something different you are after (other than less silly programs of 
course)?

on mouseUp
   put "moo" into ansn["cow"]
   put "miaow" into ansn["cat"]
   put "woof" into ansn["dog"]
   freddo ansn
end mouseUp

on freddo frog
   put frog["cat"]
end freddo
   -- puts miaow in the message box

Rev uses content-addressable arrays. To create a multi-dimensional array 
just enter two keys. For example:
on mouseUp
   put "moo" into ansn["cat",1]
   put "miaow" into ansn["cat",2]
   put "woof" into ansn["cat",3]
   freddo ansn
end mouseUp

on freddo frog
   ask "enter 1-3"
   put frog["cat",it]
end freddo

Actually, it is still a single dimensional array with an extended key 
but it looks and works like a multi-dimensional one...
