+### Complex types
+
+Now that we have the shape of the interpreter in place we can add some
+complex types and connected them in to the data structures and the
+different phases of parse, analyse, print, interpret.
+
+Thus far we have arrays and structs.
+
+#### Arrays
+
+Arrays can be declared by giving a size and a type, as `[size]type' so
+`freq:[26]number` declares `freq` to be an array of 26 numbers. The
+size can be either a literal number, or a named constant. Some day an
+arbitrary expression will be supported.
+
+As a formal parameter to a function, the array can be declared with a
+new variable as the size: `name:[size::number]string`. The `size`
+variable is set to the size of the array and must be a constant. As
+`number` is the only supported type, it can be left out:
+`name:[size::]string`.
+
+Arrays cannot be assigned. When pointers are introduced we will also
+introduce array slices which can refer to part or all of an array -
+the assignment syntax will create a slice. For now, an array can only
+ever be referenced by the name it is declared with. It is likely that
+a "`copy`" primitive will eventually be define which can be used to
+make a copy of an array with controllable recursive depth.
+
+For now we have two sorts of array, those with fixed size either because
+it is given as a literal number or because it is a struct member (which
+cannot have a runtime-changing size), and those with a size that is
+determined at runtime - local variables with a const size. The former
+have their size calculated at parse time, the latter at run time.
+
+For the latter type, the `size` field of the type is the size of a
+pointer, and the array is reallocated every time it comes into scope.
+
+We differentiate struct fields with a const size from local variables
+with a const size by whether they are prepared at parse time or not.

+#### Structs
+
+A `struct` is a data-type that contains one or more other data-types.
+It differs from an array in that each member can be of a different
+type, and they are accessed by name rather than by number. Thus you
+cannot choose an element by calculation, you need to know what you
+want up-front.
+
+The language makes no promises about how a given structure will be
+stored in memory - it is free to rearrange fields to suit whatever
+criteria seems important.
+
+Structs are declared separately from program code - they cannot be
+declared in-line in a variable declaration like arrays can. A struct
+is given a name and this name is used to identify the type - the name
+is not prefixed by the word `struct` as it would be in C.
+
+Structs are only treated as the same if they have the same name.
+Simply having the same fields in the same order is not enough. This
+might change once we can create structure initializers from a list of
+values.
+
+Each component datum is identified much like a variable is declared,
+with a name, one or two colons, and a type. The type cannot be omitted
+as there is no opportunity to deduce the type from usage. An initial
+value can be given following an equals sign, so
+
+##### Example: a struct type
+
+ struct complex:
+ x:number = 0
+ y:number = 0
+
+would declare a type called "complex" which has two number fields,
+each initialised to zero.
+
+Struct will need to be declared separately from the code that uses
+them, so we will need to be able to print out the declaration of a
+struct when reprinting the whole program. So a `print_type_decl` type
+function will be needed.
