greetings,
regarding previous grousing regarding array output not being
consistently quoted, what do you think of the following patch?
it jams `nq' when the `typbyval' is not `true' on the presumption
that typbyval is a good way to distinguish numeric/non-numeric.
perhaps there is an even more direct way to discern this?
thi
