 # Array
 
 While ZScript does not have proper user-facing generics, `Array` is one such
-type that does have a type parameter. It mirrors the internal `TArray` type.
+type that does have a (hard-coded) type parameter. It mirrors the internal
+`TArray` type exactly. Note that all Object types monomorphize to the same
+implementation and structures cannot be stored in arrays due to no polymorphic
+variant of `TArray` existing in the engine.
