Summary:
Suggestion: Use brackets as an alternate option to denote a call to the "select"
function. Notation: mylist[iterator | condition]
Example:
self.ownedElementClass and name="MyClass"
– #Class is a shorthand for oclIsKindOf(MyClass)
equivalent to :
self.ownedElement->select(oclIsKindOf(Class) and name="MyClass") -

Disposition: Resolved — OCL 2.1

Disposition Summary:
The suggested syntax comes from QVTo.
Non-trivial OCL expressions can be difficult to read. Introducing shorthand notations compromises readability. At present OCL has "." and "->" shorthands that cause significant difficulties. Introducing more does not seem appropriate for the standard language.
It is not clear that introduction of another [..] syntax can avoid conflicts with the already challenging conflicts for association qualifiers and array indexes.
Disposition: Closed, no change -
