I noticed that when you try to re-declare/define a variable which already exists, you get an error if the new declaration/assignment has a different type. For example, after: rez=5 it becomes illegal to say: string rez = "whatever" Not sure if that is intended, but I suspect it is. However, the error message could maybe be more explicit? Currently it says "wrong datatype" or something like that.

As a complete and shameless shirker, may I say that Ignacio's idea of a pre-release bug-fix period has proven an excellent one and that Allin deserves huge kudos from the whole community?
