Confusing deprecation warning

[yuyichao]

See below. Are {a,b, ...} or Any[a,b, ...] valid syntax ever?

julia> {1, (1, 2)...}
WARNING: deprecated syntax "{a,b, ...}".
Use "Any[a,b, ...]" instead.
julia> {1, (1, 2)...}

WARNING: deprecated syntax "{a,b, ...}".
Use "Any[a,b, ...]" instead.
3-element Array{Any,1}:
 1
 1
 2

julia> {1, (1, 2), ...}
WARNING: deprecated syntax "{a,b, ...}".
Use "Any[a,b, ...]" instead.
julia> {1, (1, 2), ...}

WARNING: deprecated syntax "{a,b, ...}".
Use "Any[a,b, ...]" instead.
ERROR: UndefVarError: ... not defined

julia> Any[1, (1, 2), ...]

The splat (...) is applied before the deprecation warning, so it's not actually part of the input (and therefore, the warning has nothing to do with the fact that you were splatting (1, 2). Try:

julia> Any[1, (1,2)...]
3-element Array{Any,1}:
 1
 1
 2

julia> [1, (1,2)...]
3-element Array{Int64,1}:
 1
 1
 2

Oh, I see.

So the ... is actually not a operator and is just a place holder for any number of elements......

I guess I'm just unlucky to hit it with just the right form of input and confused about what it is talking about.....

[kmsquire]

You got it!

= = ..... Glad to see that I'm not the only one who is confused by the usage of ... in the document.......
