subject: arrays in TYPE structures

I am a registered 3.2 PB user (love it.)
I know how to jump through the hoops in reading in array data in the
3.2, based on samples in the source code center of the WWW support site.
My question is not HOW, but WHEN:
Specifically, I am begging and pleading that ARRAY type be added to
the syntax within TYPE/END TYPE structures in any future releases
of PB.
I'd like to see this format, also, if at all possible:
variable([low to] high) as [TYPE] array [* length]
Or something similar, so:
name(1 to 20) as string array * 36
translates to a string array called name holding 20 elements each being
no more than 36 chars long.
You get the idea.
If anyone else has comments on this, or corrections to my examples, please
add accordingly.
I really, really, really, really, really hope to see this implemented soon.
