Accepting an extra trailing comma is acceptable, but this looks excessive (this
compiles and runs with no errors, DMD 2.053 beta):


void main() {
    auto a = [,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,];
    assert(a.length == 0);
}


As in Python I suggest to accept only one extra trailing comma:

>>> a = [1]
>>> a = [1,]
>>> a = [1,,]
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    a = [1,,]
           ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
