transmute_elements

• type: setup command.
• function: Changes the type of selected elements, which may be used to turn off unneeded diagnostics and speed up tracking when concatenation is being used.
• notes:
  • Any number of these commands may be given.
  • Not effective unless given prior to run_setup.
  • The only property of the original element that is preserved is the length. For example, transmuting a SBEN into a CSBEN will not have the expected result.
