IDL Structures [message #1694]

I've noticed that IDL seems to treat all structures as arrays of
structures.

Example:
IDL> a={ new_structure, x : 1e0, y : 1e0 }
IDL> help, /structure, a
A STRUCT = -> Array(1)

No matter what I do, I can't get a structure that doesn't think it is part
of an array of one element. Now I do some things that require
distungishing between scalars and arrays, where structures should be
scalars. But IDL thinks all my structures are arrays of one elements. Is
this a bug in my version? Or is it a bug in IDL? Or is there some reason
why this notation is useful? (Because I have to kludge around it, it is
definitely not useful for me.)
