Recently I've found myself often wanting to temporarily copy arrays in ChoiceScript to do some changes without affecting the original array. It's a bit more awkward than it needs to be at the moment because
temp_array
doesn't accept a complex length. I understand whycreate_array
doesn't, but I don't think this restriction is necessary fortemp_array
?Usage
An alternative, more specific approach, might be a whole new command, something like:
Cleaner but less flexible. Allowing temp_array to take complex values also opens up a lot of options for dynamic variable creation (combining multiple arrays etc).
