The result of [[Enclose]] on an array other than a [[simple scalar]] is always a nested array. The [[Dyalog APL]] primitive [[Nest]] (<source lang=apl inline>⊆</source>), which encloses a [[simple]] argument, is named for this property: it applies the smallest transformation to turn the argument (unless it is a simple scalar) into a nested array.
