I believe that within the context of a global subscript, the values are all
strings.  No distinction is made between what one may call 'numbers' and all
other concatenations of characters.  Only as the subscript values are
interpreted outside of the context of an global subscript value do
characters become 'numbers'.  Is this not so?
