can't obtain array of values #7

Given a template of

{{#places}}{{name}}{{/places}}

I'm obtaining an object. Can't obtain an array of places. Would this be possible?

I don't think so. The mustache language oversimplifies types a bunch -- this is an example of such a collision. We'd be better off with a language like handlebars. I started exploring that here but abandoned it at a similar time:
