It works with test.toml:
While the TOML 1.0.0 specification allows us to ignore the parent node definition.

Coming back to this, I'm not seeing anywhere in the TOML spec that actually says this is allowed, and they show many similar cases which are not allowed, so I'm not inclined to allow this behavior. There's a certain lack of clarity here - you're defining, essentially, an array
bofname, ishumanon a tablea, but you don't defineaanywhere earlier, so it's ambiguous.
