[erlang-bugs] R17 RC 2: Accessing Map

[Pieter Bouwer]

Hi,

Sorry if this is a duplicate, but I couldn't find a bug report dealing 
with this.

In the EEP (43 - http://www.erlang.org/eeps/eep-0043.html) for the map 
data type, syntax for accessing the value associated with a key is 
suggested as, e.g. key 'a_key' in map M:

|V = M#{ 'a_key' }.|


However, if I try to do this (from the shell), I get a syntax error:

 >     M#{'a_key'}.
  * 1: syntax error before: '}'

I don't know if this is still planned as part of the syntax - the EEP 
was released in April last year.
