Errors with a list of objects

[pmunts]

I experimented with lists of object instances:

' Define an object class

class Object
  var myadjective = "UNINITIALIZED"

  def Describe(s)
    myadjective = s
  enddef

  def Write()
    print "I'm an ", myadjective, " object!";
  enddef
endclass

print "Object List Test";;

' Create a list of object instances

Obj1 = new(Object)
Obj1.Describe("awesome")

Obj2 = new(Object)
Obj2.Describe("ugly")

ObjectList1 = List(Obj1, Obj2)

Obj1 = Nil
Obj2 = Nil

for X in ObjectList1
  X.Write()
next

' Create another list of object instances

Obj3 = new(Object)
Obj3.Describe("unfathomable")

Obj4 = new(Object)
Obj4.Describe("ordinary")

ObjectList2 = List(Obj3, new(Object))

Obj3 = Nil
Obj4 = Nil

for X in ObjectList2
  X.Write()
next

' Try to create a third list of object instances

ObjectList3 = List(new(Object), new(Object))

Here is the output from running the program:

Object List Test

I'm an awesome object!
I'm an ugly object!
I'm an unfathomable object!
I'm an ordinary object!
Error:
    Ln 53, Col 35
    Code 28, Abort Code 3
    Message: Colon expected.

At line 42 it executes, but the second item in the list is Obj4, instead of an uninitialized fifth object instance.
At line 53 it fails.

@paladin-t curious about the status of this issue.
