No, which is why it's one of the first things developers write a
function to handle. FWIW, many languages (Pascal, C, FORTRAN) also lack
any way of determining the number of array dimensions at runtime.
Indeed, I can think of only APL and its derivatives and math/stats mini
languages that provide built-in functions to return the number of array
dimensions at runtime.
