Public summary

A Var declaration with an explicit array type accepts an initial value of any other array type without checking the element types, so Var animals() As Animal = rocks compiles even when rocks is an array of a completely unrelated class. Calls on the elements through the declared type also compile and then fail at runtime. Assigning the same value through a plain assignment statement, a parameter, or a function return is correctly rejected, so the declaration path alone opens the hole.
