  Synopsis    [Adds range/symbolic value information to a variable.]

  Description [Adds range/symbolic value information to a variable. This
  function is typically called when a .mv construct is encountered for
  a variable which is already defined by either .inputs or .outputs.
  The arguments of this function are a pointer to a variable, the number
  of values the variable can take, and an array of symbolic value names
  stored as character strings. If the variable is an enumerative variable,
  then the last argument should be set to NIL(array_t). It is the user's
  responsibility to free the array and its strings since the function
  creates a copy of the strings internally. Returns 1 if success.
  Otherwise returns 0.]
