Do you guys realized how many types there are that you can't acces from the
outside in the 28/48?
The 48 brought some of those hidden types to visibility (for example,
the long real and long complex), but still there are a lot of types
that I would like to have.
How about a 3-dimensional array of strings, for example?  I know what
the representation would be, and it wouldn't surprise me if the
internal routines handle those beasts without any problems.  For
example, the 28C already stores its error messages in an array of
strings.
Did anybody use/explore/investigate this in one of the machines?  I would
like to know!
