Esc: maps nested in arrays and vice versa - underdevelopment or a bug?


In fact, I should have named this topic: "Don't mess your your maps with unquoted keys!" Laughing
When porting one of my Dialect programs I encountered an unexpected behaviour with lot of "void"'s in my complex arrays-maps structure. Afterwards I realized that Esc requires map keys to be all quoted in such complex array cases. But in Ultimate's++ home page manual:

{ "alfa":10, "beta":20, 20:"40" }


20 is unquoted. When is the creation of new voids expected?

This is a piece of the structure:
menus=[[{
 menu:"MainMenu",
 submenus:[
   [{ menu:"View", name:"ViewLonG" , img:"Ctrl", key:"CtrL_V",
      submenus:[
      [{ menu:"View1" }],
      [{ menu:"View2",
            submenus:[
            [{ menu:"View21", name:"View21Long" }],
            [{ menu:"View22" }]
                     ]
       }]
               ]
   }],
   [{ menu:"File",
      submenus:[
      [{ menu:"New", name:"New File...", img:"Ctrl" }],
      [{ menu:"Open" }],
      [{ menu:"Save" }],
      [{ menu:"SaveAs" }],
      [{ menu:"Quit" }]
             ],
      end:"end"
   }],
....
