Hi David!

I updated the patch to allow initializing global variables with values
of type array or struct.

I also fixed the bug I was talking in my previous message by using the
following workaround: I create a new memento for the action of setting
the global variable initial value and as such, both the global variable
and the initial value are bound to exist when setting the global
variable initializer.
Is that workaround good enough?
(I guess that workaround could be used to fix the same issue that we
have for inline assembly.)

Thanks for the review!
