I haven't seen anyone else claim to use the current more liberal
syntax for fields, but I know that I do rather extensively. I would
consider:
Just A {a = 1}
To be confusing, but if you simply omit the space:
Just A{a = 1}
I now find that perfectly clear and unambiguous. I realise this isn't
necessarily a discussion of the merits of the feature, but I don't
consider this removal as clear cut as some people are suggesting.
Thanks
Neil
