listarray{0: string, 1: string} and array{string, string} describe the same values — a
two-element list of strings — and both should satisfy a list<string> parameter.
Per the cross-tool survey (#14939) analyzers diverge on whether the *explicit-key*
spelling counts as a list, even though the keyless spelling agrees.
