SMcNeill 6e01fc8dce Altered string compare routines (<,<=,>,>=) so they don't give false results with CHR$(0).
Added new _STRCMP and _STRICMP commands for quick string comparisons.
Cleaned up QB64 to finish removing the QUI (quick user insert) code and folders.
Altered UCASE and LCASE routines to be faster in some situations for us.

The '''$STATIC''' Metacommand allows the creation of STATIC(un-changeable) arrays.
{{PageSyntax}}
::: REM '''$STATIC'''
* Qbasic [[Metacommand]]s require a REM or apostrophy (') before them and are normally placed at the start of the main module.
* Static arrays cannot be resized. If a variable is used to size any array, it becomes [[$DYNAMIC]].
* A [[REDIM]] statement has no effect on [[$STATIC]] arrays except perhaps a [[ERROR Codes|duplicate definition error]] at the [[REDIM]] code.
* The array's type cannot be changed once [[DIM]] and a literal value sets the dimensions and element size.
* [[$STATIC]] defined program [[arrays]] cannot be [[REDIM|re-sized]] or use [[_PRESERVE]].
''Example:'' When a variable is used, the array can be resized despite $STATIC. The array becomes [[$DYNAMIC]].
{{CodeStart}} '' ''
'{{Cl|$STATIC}}
{{Cl|INPUT}} &quot;Enter array size: &quot;, size
{{Cl|DIM}} array(size) 'using an actual number instead of the variable will create an error!
{{Cl|REDIM}} array(2 * size)
{{Cl|PRINT}} {{Cl|UBOUND}}(array) '' ''
{{CodeEnd}}
: ''Note:'' [[DIM]] using a literal numerical size will create a Duplicate definition error.
