According to my reading of the spec, array operations only require []
after the lvalue, not after any of the rvalues. So this should work:
int[3] x, y;
x[] = y * 2; // should work, but currently fails
But in DMD at present, array operations only work if you write [] after
_every_ array.
x[] =

The [] should be required. I worry that otherwise there will be ambiguous cases
that will cause trouble.

Don't know if this would cause any compiler problems but y could also be a
scalar value.
So requiring the [] would at least be unambiguous to the programmer.
Hmm, maybe if you have two variables named very similarly and you mistyp

Hello Adam,
An important aspect of mimicing js is I don't really care about the
xml
standard; it tries to figure out whatever ugly crap you throw its way
and makes a few assumptions for html. But, it can be used for generic
xml
stuff too.
That can be handy but can also lead to problems.

RapidXML also uses the Boost license (it's included as part of the Boost
PropertyTree library).
I haven't used it though, so i can't say how i compares to the others.
