[Gambas-user] [Git][gambas/gambas][master] Get rid of unitialized variables warnings in the IDE source code.

[Jussi Lahtinen]

I don't think so. I think it would be having the best of the two worlds. Of
course such static checking couldn't be done in a lot of cases in language
like Gambas, but in these simple cases, why not?
If the argument is "as object", then it could be checked against
non-objects like integer. If it is "as variant", then it would have to be
ignored for the check, unless you are going to check how the variant is
used in the function/sub.
