question about Type global initializers...

Hi,

The following:

Type mytype
	Global array:Float[4]
EndType

Produces this error:
Compile Error: Type global initializers must be constant

But this:

Type mytype
	Global array:Float[]
EndType

Compiles without any problems. Surely the first one is more constant than the second...or am I mistaken?

So am I supposed to assume that the line,
global array[5]
gets internally converted to,
global array[]=new int[5]

Yep.

The 'const only' Global initializer stuff will be fixed very soon though!
