Help, of course, doesn't mention this, but it also has another error where it says it accepts ARRAY keyword (which it doesn't anymore, had to delete a bunch of these yesterday, it decides a variable is an array when it sees it with dimensions - much simpler, IMO).

Is it just another "parser doesn't look behind this point" issue, as in the EndIf, EndScan and such commands (where you can put any text after the space after the command and it's treated as a comment), or does it have any use in intellisense, or what?
