Jon Siwek edited comment on BIT-1159 at 3/20/14 10:01 AM: ---------------------------------------------------------- Ok, I may end up removing support for the table/set ctor initialization shorthands. It's already inconsistent because it only works with "global" variable inits, not with "local" ones due to a difference in they way they go through type checks. Making globals do the same type checking as locals is what made me aware of the shorthand because then current usages don't pass the type check anymore. was (Author: jsiwek): Ok, I may end up removing support for the table/set ctor initialization shorthands.
