@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.

 Designated initializers for multi-dimensional arrays work great in C (C99),

 fail in Objective-C (see example below). Given that Objective-C is proclaimed

 strict superset of C, I consider this a bug.

This was a property of the old C parser I carefully replicated when 
writing the new one.  I do not know if there exists a C99-based 
specification of ObjC that clarifies what is intended (and note that this 
interacts with the old GNU form of designated initializers as well); I 
took it as given by the implementation at that time.

  /* ??? Following the old parser, [ objc-receiver
 objc-message-args ] is accepted as an initializer,
 being distinguished from a designator by what follows
 the first assignment expression inside the square
 brackets, but after a first array designator a
 subsequent square bracket is for Objective-C taken to
 start an expression, using the obsolete form of
 designated initializer without '=', rather than
 possibly being a second level of designation: in LALR
 terms, the '[' is shifted rather than reducing
 designator to designator-list.  */
