Checking the length of the variable to be non-zero before considering it an error is inconsistent; license=() and depends='' and `declare arch` should be considered just as wrong. In fact the current check detects depends='' as non-zero and returns an error, but happily considers the others to be perfectly okay. A more reliable check is to simply see if the name has been declared (whether it is set or not), and then enforce that it's been declared to the right type. As an added benefit, avoiding the creation of proxy-evaled variables to count the number of indexes results in simpler code.
