    Hi,

    I am really confused, why is this valid:
    void sample(string[string] s = string[string].init){}

    while this causes syntax errors?

    void sample_invalid1(double[string] s = double[string].init){}
    void sample_invalid2(int[int] s = int[int].init){}

    Kind regards
    André

As has been said this is an oddity in the grammar. But why would anyone need to use this anyway?

   void sample_invalid2(int[int] s = int[int].init){}

seems really awful to me anyway.

Yeah:

void sample_valid(int[int] s = null)
