Here is a quote from the ID:

: If the entity class of an entity instance is an indexed array type,
: the table is indexed. The particular mechanism for assigning names
: (OBJECT IDENTIFIERs) to the data items of the table is specified in
: the ENTITY-CLASS statement (see 3.2).

: If the entity class of an entity instance is an array type without
: an INDEXING-ATTRIBUTES parameter, the table is not indexed. Such a
: table must be linked to another table by means of the BASE-ENTITY-
: INSTANCE and RELATIONSHIP parameters.

How to you express this in ASN.1 information object classes so that
a generic tool can perform this test?
