I have a dictionary in 3.8 and one of the elements is an array.
I'm trying to write the definitions out to a text file:

#macro WriteTileSet(fname)
   #fopen TILE fname write
   #for(I, 0, MaxEntropy-1, 1)
     #write (TILE, "#declare TileSet[", S(I), "] = dictionary {\n")
     #write (TILE, "  .name = ", TileSet[I].name, ";\n")
     #write (TILE, "  .edges = array[", S(TileEdges),"] {"
     #for(E, 0, TileEdges-1, 1)
       #write (TILE, TileSet[I].edges[E], ", ")
     #end
     #write (TILE, "};\n")
     #write (TILE, "  .pidx = ", S(TileSet[I].pidx),";\n")
     #write (TILE, "  .rot = ", S(TileSet[I].rot), ";\n")
     #write (TILE, "}\n"
   #end // for I

   #fclose TILE
#end

And I'm getting an error:

Parse Error: Can't nest directives accessing the same file.

Is there a way around this? I don't want to have to manually write each 
element out.

I think it requires another macro to convert the .edges element to a
string that I can then slap into the #write directive. Is this the only 
way or am I missing something?
