Yes, I understand this. I'm saying that even though ".local Array mystring" is currently allowed, AFAIK there aren't any PIR programs that use this. Thus I'm saying we should stick with only using ".local pmc ...", and deprecate/remove ".local Array ..." to prevent others from being confused if they ever see it in a PIR program. Pm
