[gnu.gcc] possible modification to constructor expressions

rms@WHEATIES.AI.MIT.EDU (Richard Stallman) (10/08/88)

    would it be possible to eliminate the cast operator on the front
    of the list and infer the type of a homegenous bracketed list
    from its elements (or maybe just the first element)?

It might be possible, but I think it is a very bad idea.  I will not
introduce expressions whose meanings depend on the context.
