If the source code I'm parsing contains an array definition like


a = [ 2 3 4 5 ];


Is it best to parse out the 'a', '[', 2, 3, 4, 5. ']' into the symbol
table, and then put the '=' into an icode intsruction? Or is a better
solution to actually parse the array before icode begins running, and
store 'a' in the symbol table with [2,3,4,5] assigned to it?
