Currently you can write

Array arrname --> 'test';

This may compile with an unexpected length because the value of 'test' is not yet determined.

I also fixed a comment and added an error check for zero-length arrays.
It was already an error to write

    Array foo --> 0;

We now catch this case, which previously slipped through:

    Array foo --> [];

Fixes DavidKinder#40
