From my point of view that's a dynamic array, if it looks like a
dynamic array ir should be a dynamic array.
Other pascals uses something like:
a: array[1..] or string = ('aaa', 'bbb', 'ccc');
or
a: array[..] or string = ('aaa', 'bbb', 'ccc');
I think that:
a: array[..n] or string = ('aaa', 'bbb', 'ccc');
is not allowed.
