I'm not convinced that people can't accomplish what they need to adequately with the current way that we approach literals. Adding this feature also increases the cognitive load on authors. For every piece of syntactic sugar that we add to the spec, it's one more feature that is going to surprise people when they see it. I don't see this feature as vital, even though it may be nice to have for experts. -1 for allowing arrays of literals -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny) Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: Standardizing Payment Links - Why Online Tipping has Failed http://manu.sporny.org/2011/payment-links/
