This the square brackets should be curly. Then it's a struct array,
and if you do samples(1) and samples(2), you get the data you expect.
Can you update the wiki?

I find it difficult to think in terms of cell arrays. They are
basically multidimensional cell arrays, which are already weird in
themselves since indexing them with {} gives cs-lists, except the one
dimension is indexed strings instead of positive integers.
