ALLOW the use of a syntax for typed arrays — whether it be type[] or [type] — but only validate that it is an array and that the "type" is in fact a type, but don't actually validate that each element is the correct type.
I don't really see much point in that. Tools are happily reading this information from docblocks already, so all I can see this achieving is:
1) Misleading users into thinking the language will guarantee something when it won't. 2) Making it harder to use that syntax for a different purpose later, because code will be out there which lists such constraints but violates them, and will suddenly fail if the checks are enforced.
