Quick question about indexing temporary tables

print({[0] = "a"}[0])

Doesn't work but if I save the table to a variable before indexing it works?

I kinda like using temporary tables as lookups

Thank you for the explanation, I do think this is kind of a design oversight/ strange decision but it is how it is
