Not really, because imagine you will want the cObject processor to get
the array, and not have TypoScript render the array beforehand.

Imagine I have an array of rows that I would like rendered as a table.

If I'm using Smarty, I would use one template with {section} and
{foreach}. Using HTML-templates requires several Subparts and maybe a
Wrap around them. Rendering this with regular cObjects is not really
possible yet, as far as I can see, because tslib_cObj is not able to
work with such data (just one dimensional arrays).

So I think this requires enhancing cObj/TS functionality.

Cheers,
