钱钟书《围城》:“夜黑得太周密了,真是伸手不见五指!在这种夜里,鬼都得要碰鼻子拐弯。
J ~ "The night had turned such a dense black that a person literally could not see the fingers on his out-stretched hand!"

Can't find other examples of this sense, except in A ~ "... ②dense; squeezed together"

Editor: bunch of constructs in Chinese where "meticulous" is good (i.e. "detailed and all-encompassing")
