Implicit Array And Structure Creation Revisited

To the delight of many a ColdFusion developer, in CF8 we added support for implicit array and structure creation. And now we're taking this one step further in the ColdFusion 8 updater (due out shortly) to allow for arrays and structures to be nested. As an example, the following should work (and I did say "should", this is planned, and plans change):

<cfset cfevangelists=[{firstname="Ben", lastname="Forta"}, {firstname="Adam", lastname="Lehman"}]>

You get the idea. Oh, and before you ask, the updater is coming ... soon!

Implicit Nested Array and Structure Creation
Ben Forta <a href="http://www.forta.com/blog/index.cfm/2008/2/29/Implicit-Array-And-Structure-Creation-Revisited">posted</a> a 'planned' feature to be added in the upcoming CF8 updater that should complete the circle in the ability to implicitly create arrays and structures by allowing us to nest the creation (like you can in several other languages out there).<

CF 8.01 implicit creation bug still exists. I knew it!
Implicit creation is still broken is Updater 1. Read how I prove and the response I got from Adobe about it.
