No programming-language/compiler allow a name of something to start with a number, and certainly not, be a number. So it is very common practice to guess if a combination of characters is a number, and if it is, it cannot be a name. Thus, the probability if something is an index of an array (always a number) or a name/atcode is 100%. Bert (PS: The comma to add an index inside the square brackets of an atcode only works when there is an atcode. So this is not always the case. The square-bracket notation of an index always is possible.)
