 Structure literals follow this form directly.  Given
 
-	type Rat struct { num, den int };
-	type Num struct { r Rat, f float, s string };
+  type Rat struct { num, den int };
+  type Num struct { r Rat, f float, s string };

 For array literals, if the size is present the constructed array has that many
 elements; trailing elements are given the approprate zero value for that type.

 Map literals are similar except the elements of the expression list are
 key-value pairs separated by a colon:

+  m := map[string]int("good":0, "bad":1, "indifferent":7)
 
 TODO: helper syntax for nested arrays etc? (avoids repeating types but
 complicates the spec needlessly.)
