:mrdocs:

Return `true` if this `SimpleFormatter` is currently formatting an array and `false` otherwise. It is formatting an array if the last `open*` method overload (`openArray` or `openObject`) called on this `SimpleFormatter` for which the corresponding `close*` method (respectively, `closeArray` or `closeObject`) was `openArray`. If `isFormattingArray()` is `true`, then `isFormattingObject()` is `false`. Note that both can be `false`, at the `top‐level` initial scope before anything is added/opened or after the first `open*` call has been closed'
