@fxcoudert: This is not an enhancement, this is a bug. Objective-C is declared
as a strict superset of C. Everything that works in C should work in
Objective-C. In this case, it doesn't, which means it's a bug.

[Bug objc/40864] New: Designated initializers for multi-dimensional arrays fail in Objective-C

[sergei dot yakovlev at gmail dot com]

Designated initializers for multi-dimensional arrays work great in C (C99), but
fail in Objective-C (see example below). Given that Objective-C is proclaimed a
strict superset of C, I consider this a bug.

$ gcc -x c - <<<"int main(){ int a[3][4] = {[1][2] = 5}; }"
$ gcc -x objective-c - <<<"int main(){ int a[3][4] = {[1][2] = 5}; }"
: In function 'main':
:1: error: syntax error before ']' token
$
