[Laszlo-dev] For Review: Change 20080417-hqm-z Summary: fix inline dataset bug

[Donald Anderson]

I don't see why flex doesn't accept it.
Nonetheless, we could do this in the backend, we are already
keeping globals separate.  It does mean that every little
initializer (x=0; y=true, etc.) will get shoved into ---
the LzApplication() constructor as Henry has done?
