Why is this an error: a b: 1, c.d

[thepatrick]

It generates: PARSE ERROR ON LINE 1: UNEXPECTED '.'

Is this a bug?

See #1089.

[thepatrick]

Ah, ok, so coffee is, mistakenly*, thinking I want c.d to be part of the object being created by the b:1?

(My intention is more like when you do a b: 1, -> - ie. it would be a({b:1}, c.d))

• by which I mostly mean "insufficiently reading my mind" :)

Yeah, I don't really like it, but it's apparently intentional.

apparently intentional

Nope. #1061 intended to fix this as well, but failed.

Oh, huh. I suppose the tone of the response I got when I brought this issue up was one of resignation rather than authority, then. Sorry to misinform!
