var is not a "string variable", but a variable that can contain anything, even if it currently contains a string. &var in v1 can return the address of a string even if the variable contained a number, and sometimes that is what you want; or it can return the address of an object, which is entirely a different thing.Does this mean that "&var" is only suitable for string variables?
The current method of getting signed shorts from an int is to copy them into a buffer and use NumGet.
The "current" method is not to "copy them into a buffer and use NumGet", but to use bitwise-AND/OR and bit-shifting.
