nomenclature

[Phil Lawrence <prlawrence@Lehigh.EDU>]

For the more formally educated on the list:  :-)

Is there any special name for this way of storing name=>value pairs?
  @ary =
  (
    $delimited_ordered_list_of_keys
  , $val_1
  , ...
  , $val_n
  );

Basically, I'm doing this in a PL/SQL function, and need to come up with 
a pithy function name.  Actually, a germane name would be best, but I'll 
settle for pithy.

:-)
