I was recently testing something and made an interesting discovery...

<cfscript>
  thisVar.testStruct.myVal = "some value";
</cfscript>

Actually works... without a structNew() call to create it.

So... new question... do we go ahead and imply a struct simply by
syntax, or do we, for the sake of protocol and readability, insist on
an explicit strucNew() call?

Personally, I'm for dropping the extra operation and implicity
creating a struct.

Anybody?

Laterz,
J
