I had a problem compiling a program because I had called for a typing error, a variable (Bytes) with 2 different names, such as "billy" "billly", the program contains 93 variables, and I lost a lot of time to figure out the error.
What I ask is to add in the next update, a compilation option where you can request to declare the variables must also byte, so that this can not happen.
There is a workaround, going to check the list of variables in the file list, and that's what I did to solve my problem, but it is uncomfortable and not entirely conclusive.
What initially seems a big convenience, turns out to be a big handicap.
Thank for your work, Marco

This is on the 'todo' list. I called this OPTION EXPLICIT - if you use the config statement OPTION EXPLICIT you will be forced to DIM all variables. This is a slightly different approach to but with a new config statement we can maintain backwards compatibility.
Timeline for this... don't know. I am currently working on enhancements on STRINGS.H.

Great that's just what I thought it was possible to implement, I can also ask when you think it will be released next update of the compiler?, It seems to me that several issues have been addressed.
Thank you for your courtesy.
