Is anyone familiar with the usage of brackets in a TLC config file as seen here <https://github.com/tlaplus/Examples/blob/15df8dd25e1a41fdc17f4aa79618d13dfd6e2b36/specifications/Paxos/MCPaxos.cfg#L9>? I have not encountered it before, and am unclear on its semantics. As far as I can tell, I don't see an explicit mention of it in Specifying Systems.
Hi Will,Voting and Paxos both define a Ballot operator. Without the brackets, MCPaxos.cfg override the definition of Ballot in Paxos (done a few lines above in the .cfg), not in Voting. This feature was added in 2009. In other words, after the release of Specifying Systems.
