} That's also correct.  typeset -a creates arrays, so "array" is
} successfully created; however, array[2] is a scalar with a scalar
} assignment, so that's an error with the "-a".

No disagreement, but then:

torch% typeset var=abcd var[2,3]=23
torch% typeset -p var
typeset var=a23d
torch% typeset -a array array[2]=(two)
typeset: array[2]: array elements must be scalar

So slices of scalars work, but not slices of arrays.
