[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #24546] ruleset table syntax

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #24546 (project freeciv):

Yes, eventually I arrived at "just delete the stupid lines". Related, values
of type list as in foo = x, y, z apparently have no empty list value, only ;
foo = (comment out or delete line) works. 

For some graphics in 2.6 "none" is not the same as "-", and commenting out or
deleting those boring "-" lines triggers a hard "cannot load ruleset" error.
Maybe "-" should be the default for this.

Follow-up Comment #2:

The freeciv problem to fix here is that at least one value is expected when
table name has been seen.
Anyway, this is low-level datafile format change and S2_6 formats have been
frozen -> setting target to 3.0.0

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #24546 (project freeciv):

If you want to make completely empty table visible in human-readable way, make
its header comment:

; obsolete_by = { "type", "name", "range" }

Details:

In a buildings.ruleset for 2.5 I had lots of...

 obsolete_by = "None"

...lines.  For 2.6 I changed these lines to...

 obsolete_by = { "type", "name", "range" } ; same as 2.5 "None"

...but it didn't work as expected (trimmed error message):

 Expected end of line file ".../.freeciv/test/dunnoob/buildings.ruleset", line
84, pos 43
  looking at: ' }   ; same as 2.5 "None"'

Apparently the '}' cannot be on the same line as the '{'.  A case of
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_astonishment - is it a bug,
an undocumented feature, or only me?  I'll try to find another solution for
"None" in one line, two lines certainly work. :-P
