} That's related to my previous fix --- x=() causes x to be marked as an

Thanks for the patch, but it still doesn't address my second point:

This works for scalars, i.e.
torch% typeset x=abcd x[1]=1 x[3]=3
torch% typeset -p x
typeset x=1b3d
torch% typeset x='' x[2]=2 x[4]=4
torch% typeset -p x
typeset x=24
torch%
Note that I did NOT get x=1234 out of that last.
