           Summary: ArrayMemberInitialization, StructMemberInitializer
                    inconsistencies from dmd's behavior

Currently, the spec describes ArrayMemberInitialization so:

ArrayMemberInitialization:
        AssignExpression
        AssignExpression : AssignExpression

However, considering the following:

struct test
{
        int i;
}

static test[] tests = [
        {1},
];

Compiles just fine, I believe the spec to be incorrect.  Instead, it might be:

ArrayMemberInitialization:
        AssignExpression
        AssignExpression : AssignExpression
        StructInitializer
        AssignExpression : StructInitializer
        ArrayInitializer
        AssignExpression : ArrayInitializer

That said, this compiles too:

struct test
{
        int[] i;
}

static test tests = {
        [1, 2, 3]
};

So it might seem that StructMemberInitializer would need the reverse change,
becoming:

StructMemberInitializer:
        AssignExpression
        Identifier : AssignExpression
        ArrayInitializer
        Identifier : ArrayInitializer
        StructInitializer
        Identifier : StructInitializer
