What language is this?
It looks like awk, but awk doesn't have "multidimensional arrays" as such... Just a big list of indexes and elements. When you give more than one index, it actually crams them into a string like INDEX1 SUBSEP INDEX2 SUBSEP INDEX3.
So your method would still count every individual element of a multidimensional awk array. But they would have to all be filled. Any unset elements would not be counted.

@include getopt.awk
in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.
OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.
EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk
@include getopt.awk
