Hello Peter,

I've already voted but there a few things I'm not sure I understood correctly. 

== 2nd question ==

I voted for A1 but do I understand right that A1 would allow me to define 
things also this way? 

Variation A1 (modified)

type customer( sequence x )
   fields
      integer x[1]
      sequence x[2]
      sequence x[3]
      atom x[3][1]
      integer x[3][2]
      atom x[3][3]
   end fields
   -- insert other code here
end type

What do you mean by "other code"? Wouldn't you (we  ) want to allow 
this syntax?

Variation A1 (modified)

type customer( sequence x )
   fields
      integer x[1]
      sequence x[2]
      sequence x[3]
      x[1]>0
      x[1]<100
   end fields
   -- insert other code here
end type

I don't think that the clarification would influence my answer given earlier 
but might be useful information for others. It might also help me to understand 
what to expect. (What about B1?)

== 3rd question ==

I voted for A2 but does it also meant that you can use it like this?

Variation A2 (modified)

type customer( sequence x )
   fields
      integer x[1]    id
      sequence x[2]   name
      sequence x[3]   address
      atom x[3][1]    ZIP -- 
      integer x[3][2] nr -- house nr
      atom x[3][3]    floor 
   end fields
   -- other code here
end type

customer x
x={0,"",{0,0,0}}
x[id]=1
x[name]="Szabó András"
x[address][ZIP]=2475
x[address][nr]=18
x[address][floor]=1

 
Again, I don't think your explanation will change my vote, it's just that 
I want to have a clear picture what we're taliking about and possibly help
the future voters. (What about B2?)

Thanks in advance!
