Is there any way to put dictionary inside a dictionary without having to initialize each dictionary first? More like:

dictionary d = {{ 'dict1': {{ 'a', 1 }, { 'b', 2 }},

{ 'dict2': {{ 'c', 3 }, { 'd', 4 }}};

instead:

dictionary subd1 = {{ 'a', 1 }, { 'b', 2 }};

dictionary subd2 = {{ 'c', 3 }, { 'd', 4 }};

dictionary d = {{ 'dict1': subd1 },

{ 'dict2': subd2 }};

Right now I'm getting error:

ERR : Initialization lists cannot be used with '?'

ERR : Reference is read-only

PS. Just realized { } is for initializer list, so it's used for arrays too and there is no way it will know what I want to construct there. Was thinking more in Python-ish way where {} denotes dictionary and [] is for arrays. Though it wouldn't hurt to make this distinction for such basic type as array/map, unless there are bigger plans for initializer list usage..

Ok, seems that I found solution. It wasn't easy to find for such a common question, so I will provide answer here and I think that "Anonymous objects" could be referenced a bit more in documentation, for example in dictionary class that doesn't show how to anonymously embed data such as dictionary or array.

http://www.angelcode.com/angelscript/sdk/docs/manual/doc_expressions.html#anonobj

dictionary foo = {{ 'fruits', dictionary = {{'banana',1}, {'apple',2}, {'orange',3}} },

{ 'vegetables', dictionary = {{'onion', 1}, {'tomato', 2}} }}

Thanks for the feedback. I'll see if I can give more examples of how to use anonymous objects (especially from the array and dictionary data type pages).
