Bad explanation in "Universal Function Call Syntax"

[alexreg]

In section Angle-bracket Form, there is the following sentence:

The as Trait part is optional if it’s not ambiguous. Same with the angle brackets, hence the shorter form.

This is confusing, since it suggests there is only one abbreviated form, whereas in fact <Trait> is quite different from Type!

Right.

This chapter hasn't actually editing done to it yet, and is going to be re-written almost entirely, actually. it might even disappear on its own. As such, I'm going to give it a close. Thanks for pointing this out, though!

No worries, and fair enough!
