Collection Literals: No target type?

[TonyValenti]

Is this supposed to work when collection literals are officially released?

var Now = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow;
var Created_At = Members.Created_At_Computed() ?? Now;
var Updated_At = Members.Updated_At_Computed() ?? Now;

//This Line:
Created_At = [Created_At, Now].Min();

The plan is to aim for c#13 fit dictionary literals and natural types.

Thanks. I was hopeful that extension methods would contribute to target type resolution.

Not in 12

LDM Jul 12 decided not to pursue extension methods specifically for collection expressions for now, but rather for a wider set of expressions including lambda expressions, to be explored for C# 13: https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/blob/main/meetings/2023/LDM-2023-07-12.md#extension-methods

Hope this gets added in C# 13. I was suprised when I found out I couldn't chain my collection expressions with Where and the like.

That is a separate issue, not directly related to target typing.

While it is technically separate, I feel safe saying the two design conversations are related, one affecting the other thus far.
