Overall, my personal interpretation of the discussion for float arrays (#13340) and immutable arrays (#13097) literals is that in the current complexity landscape, not increasing the complexity of the language...

Concerning the instability of type-directed disambiguation; if this is a concern, there is always the `-principal` option, which will raise a warning on any points where the disambiguation is brittle....

Personally, I see `u"x"` or any `f"x"` as visibly a function application, and another illustration that type-directed disambiguation is the superior option for common literals with different types rather than...

To get a better idea in term of familiarity of the syntax, I have been collecting literals from other languages Language | Uchar | Char | String literal | String...

I meant the `String` column to refer to the simplest string literal syntax.

One point to consider is that always printing the extending hint also means removing the work already done for detecting the complex objects and polymorphic variant cases.

Did you open a graphics windows before using `Graphics.sound`? How is the system bell configured in your system? Can you hear the system bell?

As far as I can see speaker-test does not have an option to test the system bell? You can try ```bash echo -e "\a" ``` in a terminal. However, it...
