Good question. It seems to handle fixed (and variable?) length arrays.

Dim Washington(1 To 100) As StateData

It also has a concept of a "struct" which they call a "user defined
type".

Type StateData
    CityCode (1 To 100) As Integer    ' Declare a static array.
    County As String
End Type

Of course for Python, we would use square brackets for array bounds and
classes for structs.
