Is there an equivalent of make_array that will create a scalar variable,
of a type only specified at runtime? Of course I can just create an
array and then truncate it to a scalar,
v = (make_array(1,type=typecode))[0]
but that seems kind of convoluted. I searched around a bit and didn't
find anything, but perhaps I'm missing something obvious. I do that
from time to time. :-)
