.. note::
Right now, the array and matrix size should be small enough to be indexable by a single byte index.
This means byte arrays and matrixes should be <= 256 elements, word arrays <= 128 elements, and float
arrays <= 51 elements. This limit may be lifted in a future version.

Matrixes can be indexed in each dimension only by a byte as well, this also means
their maximum size is 65536 elements (bytes).
Note that the various keywords for the data type and variable type (``byte``, ``word``, ``const``, etc.)
