Should this be legal?

char[] main()
{
 char[] i = "";
 return i;
}

Currently all basic data types can be returned to main. Is this intended or an oversight?

If this is intended, how does one capture and use the values returned by main?

Thanks,
Andrew

At the moment, main can be declared to return anything. Clearly, that should be fixed and the return type restricted to being an int. -Walter
