I think it is just the case that Java supports only a single value or
array notation, so that's what we did too (just adapting to Groovy
array/list notation).
We have certainly had folks ask if we could also support the curly
brace syntax but that clashes with a closure.
It would be interesting to see whether it is a simple or ugly change
at the grammar/early parsing level.
Cheers, Paul.
