  Depends on how many levels you are using on a array. I've noted 
in another part of this topic where I have pages and pages of the 
data. Forcing me to qualify it with a name when the 
compiler/structure already knows just seems like an annoyance. 
True it removes the {}'s, but I think I have 3 levels of deep.

  S[] s = [S(),S(),S()];

  vs

  S[] s = [{},{},{}];

  If they are more complex, then indenting and separation makes 
sense. And the size of the name I don't want to have to Alias my 
structures to something tiny and a little obfuscate in order to 
keep it compact and simple. That's my thoughts anyways. If the 
language later disallows it, I'll have to change my code to 
compensate for it.
