Hold on! I didn't spell the VARYING keyword right, so the program didn't
compile and I ended up looking at the original without the VARYING
keyword. I since redid it, and it works the way I would expect it to
work, each element's length is set to the length of the data in the
compile-time array.  That's nice!
