Re: Differing semantics between multidimensional fixed-length array and slice initialization

[Nicholas Smith]

Ali, thanks for the justification. It makes enough sense, and at 
least int[][](2, 3) matches the order in which you access the 
elements.

I agree with Bearophile though that the syntax is very messy when 
you're mixing array types and pre/postfix declarations. If you 
weren't shooting for C family syntax I'm sure array declarations 
could be handled more gracefully.
