And how would you distinguish between b(n) of string array b
and b(n:n) of string b? if both were written as b(n) ?

strange.

Has never required :: there. Doesn't require them, and does not
make sense to have any there.

>and one must say RESULT(x) not RESULT::x or RESULT x

RESULT (X) is not a declaration of X; use of :: is inappropriate.
The declaration of X may require use of ::
