Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-3647:
-------------------------------------------

bq. Why isn't the discard syntax as simple as [...]

I like it!

bq. I assume BTW that braces ("[") are signifying a position in an ordered 
list, and Brackets ("{") are signifying a value (or label) and not a position

That's reasonable, but then you still have the problem of Maps that don't 
really fit either of those.  And like I said, a Set feels more like a 
Map-without-values to me, than like a List-without-indexes.
