The Cocoa container objects (NSArray, NSDictionary, etc.) only hold
Objective C objects. You can wrap arbitrary data in an NSData
instance, but if you just want an array of NSRect structs, then you're
probably better off using a standard C array. (Although you might
want to make a Cocoa object to encapsulate the array and provide an
NSArray-like interface.)
