Very useful!

Some things are identical. Instead of the reader staring at the text to
spot any differences, how about just saying "the same". E.g. at the
start of "Comparison Operators".

For dictionaries it would be useful to mention the #{} form:

let d = {'red' : 10, 'blue' : 20} or #{red : 10, blue : 20}
let x = {}

Some day it would be nice to do the same for Vim9 script.
