Yes, apologies about the array declaration error. That was part of an early attempt at an example, I tested it but then forgot to fix it when finishing the post. 

Fixing the array will give the errors I mention, and as you point out the grammar specifies a name. 

So the question would be, with a correct array, why a name is required instead of an expression, or why a qualified expression is good enough but an unambiguous plain expression is not.

A normal function call will work there too, so why not the poor infix operator...
