Well, it's not a literal. That's the nice thing about it. It's all evaluated at run-time and can contain expressions. e.g.:
{String instanceCount. World submorphs size. Time now printString. 'etc,',' etc'}
which right now evaluates to
#(113132 12 '6:01:53 pm' 'etc, etc')
but could be different later.

OK. That makes sense. How about a compromise. A link to the Brace Arrays section in the section on Literal Arrays? This is supposed to be a reference meaning that one is supposed to be able to find what one is looking for without scanning through the entire document.
