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...
