//   - **List**: An ordered collection of zero or more items.  ie: ["a", "b", "c"]
//   - **Vector**: A list of numbers. ie: [4, 5, 6]
//   - **Array**: A nested list of lists, or list of lists of lists, or deeper.  ie: [[2,3], [4,5], [6,7]]
//   - **Dimension**: The depth of nesting of lists in an array.  A List is 1D.  A list of lists is 2D.  etc.
