Again, this is a limitation of Asymptote. An array _must_ contain
elements of a single type. That beast you want doesn't exist (unless you
typedef it, but then you cannot pass arguments anymore).

Why? You can always write an intermediary step to "stringify" every
cell. Choose your language. Nick Dokos showed you one way.

It is possible to force ob-asymptote to make all cells strings. But
I don't think ob-asymptote should try that hard to compensate users'
misuses of data types.
Now, I may be totally wrong.
