What a problem, Rob?

Anyone can have that notorious feature just
now and forever - do you remember:

integer A_
type sequence_with_length_A(sequence a)
  A_= length(a)
  return sequence(a)
end type

sequence_with_length_A A_A

A_A = {}

? A_

A_A = {1,2}

? A_A[A_]

This feature seems to be like same notorious
"conditional dynamic include" - I still can not
find the 3rd dynamic lover to drink that notorious
Russian bottle of vodka for solved problem ...
65 EU countries ... Where is that 3rd?

It seems to me, Derek will search & look for 
the 3rd $-lover too ...

Toss away that $-feature - $ is devil of devils,
and don't worry be just happy!       

Good Luck!
