I tried to make shorter version of f_array problem script for Warp but
accidentaly I found another thing:

#declare IC_Arr=array[12]
#declare IC_Arr[0]=function{x}                     
#declare IC_Arr[1]=IC_Arr[0]
#declare IC_Arr[2]=IC_Arr[1]

returns :

#declare IC_Arr[1]=IC_Arr[0]
#declare IC_Arr[2]=IC_Arr[1] <----ERROR
Parse Error: Attempt to access uninitialized array element.

Any confirmation ?

Add semicolons and it works.  The semicolons are required but the parser
cannot detect the end of the third declare line:

 #declare IC_Arr=array[12]
 #declare IC_Arr[0]=function{x}
 #declare IC_Arr[1]=IC_Arr[0];
 #declare IC_Arr[2]=IC_Arr[1]

Gives the correct error message.

 #declare IC_Arr=array[12]
 #declare IC_Arr[0]=function{x}
 #declare IC_Arr[1]=IC_Arr[0];
 #declare IC_Arr[2]=IC_Arr[1];

Gives the correct result.

Somehow I felt such solution but was too concerned on other things. Anyway I
think something could be mentioned in "6.2.2.1  Declaring identifiers" about
such situation.
