function mbchar(a)
%MBCHAR	Must be char variable.
%	The statement
%
%	    mbchar(x)
%
%	asserts that, at that point in the computation, the variable x 
%	has components can be declared as char strings in the resulting
%	C program.  If this assertion is false, an error occurs; if this
%	assertion is true, the computation proceeds.
%

%	MBVECTOR, MBINTSCALAR, MBINTVECTOR.
