[Gambas-user] Question about var declaration

[Ron]

Variables declared with a DIM inside a SUB or FUNCTION can be put 
together like this:

DIM sVar1, sVar2 AS String

This is not valid syntax for public vars at the beginning of a module of 
class, like this:

PUBLIC sVar1, sVar2 AS String

This results in an error 'Missing AS'

Is this on purpose? Or is the compiler too strict?
