You do not need cap, and a faulty construct, even if the compiler misses an error.
Just now tried it. Seems strange, but it works.
What's so strange about it. It's kind of like arrays. You use `ArrayVar[IndexValue]' to refer to a single element and just `ArrayVar' to refer to the whole array. Similarly, `String (Cap)' is a string of given capacity and just `String' is a string of arbitrary capacity (only valid in pointers and var parameters).
