 where ``ARRAY-ATTR`` is the array entry type.
 
-array-nest
-~~~~~~~~~~
+indexed-array
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-``array-nest`` creates the following structure::
+``indexed-array`` wraps the entire array in an extra attribute (hence
+limiting its size to 64kB). The ``ENTRY`` nests are special and have the
+index of the entry as their type instead of normal attribute type.
+
+A ``sub-type`` is needed to describe what type in the ``ENTRY``. A ``nest``
+``sub-type`` means there are nest arrays in the ``ENTRY``, with the structure
+looks like::
 
   [SOME-OTHER-ATTR]
   [ARRAY-ATTR]

       [MEMBER1]

-It wraps the entire array in an extra attribute (hence limiting its size
-to 64kB). The ``ENTRY`` nests are special and have the index of the entry
-as their type instead of normal attribute type.
+Other ``sub-type`` like ``u32`` means there is only one member as described
+in ``sub-type`` in the ``ENTRY``. The structure looks like::
+
+  [SOME-OTHER-ATTR]
+  [ARRAY-ATTR]
+    [ENTRY u32]
