Bug 24745 – Better error message when creating an associative array with the wrong syntax

If you accidentally do this when creating an AA int[int] f = {1: 1, 2: 2}; The error message is confusing: Error: comma expected separating field initializers Error: expression expected, not `:` In this case, the error message could include something to indicate that [] are used to create an associative array. It's also unclear what the error message in its current form means, since {1: 1, 2: 2} is designated initializer syntax. The only problem is that 1 and 2 are not valid names.
