I have to second Marcus on this, this new syntax makes things harder
to read. I mean what are you saving here, a few letter?

Hi,
I thought I may have brought this up a long time ago but couldn't
find anything in the archives.
For a long time already I've been thinking about possibly adding a
new syntax for array(...) which would be shorter. I'd suggest
[...]. While I am usually not in favor of having more than one way
to do things, I think it'd look much more elegant especially (but
not only) for nested arrays.
So what I'm thinking of is:
array(1, 2, 3) == [1, 2, 3]
array(1, 2, array("foo", "bar")) == [1, 2, ["foo", "bar"]]
array("key" => 1, "key2" => 2) == ["key" => 1, "key2" => 2]
$arr = [1, 2, 3]
vs.
$arr = array(1, 2, 3)
Well enough examples given :)
I think it's not worth doing unless there's overwhelming support as
it's not desperately needed. But I'd be interested to hear
people's thoughts. It seems implementation shouldn't be an issue
but I'd have to dive a bit deeper.
