May be an array or object containing properties.

<para>
If <parameter>query_data</parameter> is an array, it may be a simple
one-dimensional structure, or an array of arrays (which in
turn may contain other arrays).

If <parameter>query_data</parameter> is an object, then only public
properties will be incorporated into the result.

<para>
If numeric indices are used in the base array and this parameter is
provided, it will be prepended to the numeric index for elements in
the base array only.

This is meant to allow for legal variable names when the data is
