Problem that causes error and warning

Hello Rob,

I stumbled across a tiny issue (Eu 2.5). The following code snippet of
course runs fine:

sequence myData, text
myData = "ABC"
text = "Look at " & myData
puts(1, text)

but when the 2nd line is missing, I get the following messages:

| C:\temp\test.exw:2
| variable myData has not been assigned a value
| --> see ex.err
| 
| Warning: local variable myData in test.exw is never assigned a value

So Euphoria reports an error AND a warning for the same problem here.
I think this can be confusing especially for beginners. Since an error
is more important than a warning, my suggestion is that Euphoria should
not show a warning message in cases like this.

Regards,
   Juergen
