Indeed. Well, I'm still on XE, the jump to XE 10 is for next month.
Seems I'll have some reading up to do...

Disregarding the fact that they introduced now 2 syntaxes to initialize an
array, I'm curious what Jonas is going to say, because I remember he always 
advocates that the type of an expression is determined by the terms/factors 
in the expression, not by what you assign it to.

For
  ['abc','def'] + ['ghi','jkl']
it is more or less clear.

But what is the type of this expression:
  [1,2,3] +  [4,5,6]
is it an array or a set ?

It probably means that they regard [] always as an array, and added some
kind of automatic set-to-array type assignment compatiblity for types that 
somehow fit in a set.
