Description

Suppose there are two integer variables 'one' (with value 1) and 'two' (with value 2). Now I create an array variable with this expression:

myArray = [ one, two ]

Now I change the values of these variables later ('one' to 5 and 'two' to 6), and evaluate the same expression again:

myArray = [ one, two ]

Now I would expect "myArray" to be created again, this time with values 5 and 6. However, the second time, nothing really happens. Internally, "myArray" remains the same array from the first invocation (same Java String array object instance), with the same values (1 and 2). But since I was using variables with different values in the expression, I would expect the array to change / be re-created.
