I trying to find a reason why array functions are not allowed to be used as normal arrays. To clarify, I'm allowed to write
array(), despite its appearance, is not a function - it's an operator. But it won't work with functions too.
Maybe is THIS the reason why it doesn't work in PHP? ;-)
I'd suppose the first reason for that would be nobody proposed a patch that would allow the parser to process such things. ;) If there's one, we could then discuss its merits.
