OK. That makes sense. How about a compromise. A link to the Brace Arrays section in the section on Literal Arrays? This is supposed to be a reference meaning that one is supposed to be able to find what one is looking for without scanning through the entire document.

Ah exactly! Shame on me for not finding it. But! This should be up in the "Literals (Constant Expressions)" section immediately after "Constant Arrays (Instances of class Array)". At least it should be in the Literals sections somewhere since that's what it is, right?

Well, it's not a literal. That's the nice thing about it. It's all evaluated at run-time and can contain expressions. e.g.:

{String instanceCount. World submorphs size. Time now printString. 'etc,',' etc'}

which right now evaluates to

#(113132 12 '6:01:53 pm' 'etc, etc')

but could be different later.
