IIRC
You cannot de-dimension an array (aside from the special-case single
dimension, 1 value, case). You will need to unnest the array into
components, filter those components, then go from there. Each,
"unnest(array)" call explodes one dimension. Consider wraping things in a
function to make the code cleaner.
