Agreed. Although if it had full strong parsing ability, you could use the
string variables as arrays. But yeah, I really miss (&, for somethings, need)
arrays. Data structures I can do without (or roll my own with arrays).

would be handy, but I'm not sure how detailed a stack the firmware implements),
and scoping of variables within and outside of MyBlocks is... confusing.
