Research direction
Start with the reported Pattern Language example that imports png as PNG and declares PNG png[2] @ 0; reproduce the runtime error to trace imported-type evaluation in array declarations. Inspect the relevant parser and runtime entry points, then verify that the example creates the array without the reported evaluated-context error.
