          Issue ID: 24169
           Summary: Confusion between array literal and associative array
                    literal
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All

          Severity: normal

int[3] a = [3, 1:1, 2:2];

compiles, while:

  auto a = [3, 1:1, 2:2];

fails with: "not an associative array initializer".

Seems there is some confusion about which it is.
