Yep, I wasted a morning trying to get this to work too...(it wasn't
too explicit in the Apollo manuals that I couldn't do it). It may seem
like a trivial problem, but it causes other messy coding 'workarounds'
that are likely to haunt you if you every get into an environment like
we have (>1 million lines of code of Apollo Pascal scattered around on
200+ nodes in DSEE). Makes C (or even ADA) look so nice at times.
