Hi Daniel,
I know that "println [1, 2, 3]" fails, but I literally have never
wanted to literally print a list literal ;-)
My question was related to the fact that there is only whitespace +
newline right after the opening list bracket "[", and that this syntax
variety would conceivably not be used if someone was going for an index
expression.
Backward compatibility breaking changes aside, would the Parrot be able
to discern these cases ?
Cheers,
mg

Hi mg,
`foo [....]` is ambiguous, parser can parse it as index expression or
parse it as method invocation without parentheses, the former is applied to
solve the ambiguity.
Similarly, `println [1, 2, 3]` will fail too ;-)
Cheers,
Daniel.Sun
