I'm not sure to understand. Your array must have all its elements of the
same type. In this case, it detects that common type should be
"string". What else should it do in that case?

That being said, you can have rownames and colnames even in an array of
ints (see :rownames and :colnames headers arguments for your source
block).

In others words, you can plot, for example, the following table without
any problem:

| x | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| y | 1 | 4 | 9 |
