<p>
A parsing ambiguity arises when a composite literal using the
TypeName form of the LiteralType appears between the
<a href="#Keywords">keyword</a> and the opening brace of the block of an
"if", "for", or "switch" statement, because the braces surrounding
the expressions in the literal are confused with those introducing
the block of statements. To resolve the ambiguity in this rare case,
the composite literal must appear within
parentheses.
TypeName form of the LiteralType appears as an operand between the
<a href="#Keywords">keyword</a> and the opening brace of the block
of an "if", "for", or "switch" statement, and the composite literal
is not enclosed in parentheses, square brackets, or curly braces.
In this rare case, the opening brace of the literal is erroneously parsed
as the one introducing the block of statements. To resolve the ambiguity,
the composite literal must appear within parentheses.
