%MY is alterable at runtime, though I think Larry's declared that we
only have to respect the variable addition and deletions to it that
are made before mainline program execution begins.
I'm not sure what the stand is on altering the types of existing
variables at runtime is. I know their values will be both readable
and writable at runtime.
