<![CDATA[QML array alternative syntax]]>In QML the regular syntax to fill an array in declarative way is :

@states: [
State {...},
State {...},
State {...}
]@

I found out by accident that an alternative syntax is also supported but it didn't find any doc about it :

@states {
State {...}
State {...}
State {...}
}@

It doesn't seem new since it is supported also on Qt 4.8 for instance.

Does anyone use it ?
Is some obsloete early QML feature that would be removed at some point ?

Thanks,
Christopher
