Regular variables will require to be declared that way, however, there are no type-checking in run-time, that means you still can assign numeric value to a character-declared variable. In VB types are well-controlled.

Hello Vlad,

Will it at least allow for a mechanism to make sure a variable exists (preferable at compile time or earlier)? A setting that would enforce that all variables must be declared (but not strongly typed), so misspelled references to variables can be caught before runtime...

Strong typing...sounds like that would wear out keyboards fast! *grin*
