Can this feature be added without the parser getting confused with {1, 2, 3}, thinking it's a closure instead of an initializer? AFAIK this is the same reason why instance initializers are not supported by Groovy.
If it can be done then great! This would remove one gotcha when migratation Java code to Groovy :-) Cheers, Andres ------------------------------------------- Java Champion; Groovy Enthusiast http://jroller.com/aalmiray http://www.linkedin.com/in/aalmiray -- What goes up, must come down.
