Summary | 0002140: Syntax of lengh restriction

Description

The syntax of length restriction deviates from the syntax of other subtype constraints, which appear in parentheses, e.g.:
type integer i (0..9);
type bitstring bs length(8);
Why not have a concise and unified syntax, which would be in-line with ASN.1 subtype definitions, too? E.g.:
type bitstring bs (length(8));
The recommendation is to switch to the new syntax but keep the legacy notation as a deprecated feature for backward compatibility.

This is a small issue only - anyhow, length restrictions are specific in a language (i.e. IDL, ASN.1 and TTCN-3 use all different syntaxes) - changing the syntax would break existing test suites - having the parenthesis an optional syntax complicates the language unnecessarily - so it is closed
