No, it's a string:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] pge]$ grep gname demo.pir
.local string gname
p6rule_compile($S2, gname, $S1)
print gname
gname = $P9
[EMAIL PROTECTED] pge]$

Well, it works because (AFAICT) gname is in fact a string. :-)
Maybe there's something else bizarre going on here?

I considered adding this at one point and then decided it might be
a little too much creeping featurism. But I can see how it'd be
very useful, so I'll see about re-incorporating it.
