Re: Parser bug: if missing ", " in list between records, the first is ignored, and no parser warnings are given.

Hi Mattias,

This isn't a bug. The expression #rec{a=2}#rec{b=3} is legal, and is the
same thing as (#rec{a=2})#rec{b=3} or #rec{a=2,b=3}. If the keys overlap,
then the last one "wins".

best regards,
Vlad
