This seems a bit inconsistent. It appears the rule is
"n vertical bars is the delimiter for the nth dimension".
By that rule, the delimiter for the first dimension
should be a single vertical bar, but instead it's a
comma.

Also, it's not very clear why when you have a 2D array
with two rows you write

    [| 1,2,3 || 4,5,6 |]

i.e. with *one* vertical bar at each end, but when
there is only one row you write

    [|| 1,2,3 ||]

i.e. with *two* vertical bars at each end.
