  • SR-349 Cannot use nested enums in definition of arrays or as dictionary

Issue Description:

Consider the following nested Struct:

struct Struct1 {
    struct Struct2 {
        var name: String?
    }
}

I want to create an array of Struct2 types. The compiler complains when I try to declare this with

var struct2Array = [Struct1.Struct2]()

error: invalid use of '()' to call a value of non-function type '[Struct1.Struct2.Type]'
var struct2Array = [Struct1.Struct2]()

However, the more verbose syntax works:

var struct2Array: [Struct1.Struct2] = []
var struct2ArrayVerbose = Array<Struct1.Struct2>()

The shorthand syntax should work like the verbose syntax.
