> you can always use an array of inline tables, which has the benefit of giving each sub-element a name, hopefully increasing the obviousness

Except the name would be duplicated with the content I'm storing.

As for an example, its effectively Cargo. My use case is very similar (dependency reporting) but my content is slightly different (as I said, the value would effectively duplicate the key)

Oh, you mean you want something like:

  list = [
    "1.0",
    "2.7",
    { version = "1.4", path = "..." },
    "9.9",
  ]

Is that correct?

Something akin to that, yes.
