specify the trailing semicolon, in an effort to specify array indexes
more cleanly, but a subrange which is not an array index has always

+included a trailing semicolon (@pxref{Arrays}).
Instead of an integer, either bound can be one of the following:

have symbol type @code{N_LSYM} or @code{C_DECL}.

+If instead, you are specifying the tag name for a structure, union, or

the only language with this feature.
@appendix Table B: Symbol types from assembler and linker
Table B shows the types of symbol table entries that hold assembler
-and linker symbols.

-The #define names for these n_types values are defined in
