The problem is that the "("...")" can either be an expression
(like (1+2)) or a slice.  The compiler cannot figure out which
use of the parens to use.  To give the compiler some help
use the following:

    Viewers : str_array(1 .. 1) := (1=>Create("text_artist"));

It will then determine that you have a one element slice, not
an expression of type DynamicString.
