   Strings and scalars presently share a namespace.  Strings are considered 
scalars of letters instead of numbers.  I'm really afraid of allowing too 
much namespace overlap though.  We're much safer using only a couple of 
namespaces so that we avoid ambiguities, especially in equation and label 
parsing.
