Re: note 8657 added to Variable variables

Bug reports, questions and features requests should not go in the notes system, that's why the mailing lists, bug server, etc. are for, use them. Array name parsing is not simple when using var vars, and you need to explicitely tell the parser what you mean, ${$x[5]) is not the same as {$$x}[5], so your assigment makes not much sense from the point of view of parsing. Rethink what you are trying to accomplish by looking at how the info is being parsed.
