I don't buy the "searching docs is easier" argument. There are plenty
of operators and such that are hard to search for.

My point is that if its written array(1,2,3) that have something to
search for in the docs. The new proposed syntax removes that keyword
that a user can use to find the help they need. As I said, back
ticks, as well as ternary, both suffer from this problem. I see no
reason to add another hurdle for new users when there is no clear
advantage to this new syntax. And, IMO, clear means that a majority
of people think its a no brainer. I would say right now we have
nothing of the sort.
