hi guys. i'm very new to your list so maybe something similar to my proposal has been already posted somewhere at this list but really i don't know how i can make the search. i often pass arrays to functions/methods this way:myfunc(array('key1'=>'val1', 'key2'=>'val2', ...)); it's really annoying to type in 'array' every time. i suggest using a simpler syntax: myfunc(['key1'=>'val1', 'key2'=>'val2', ...]); like in javascript. it'd be very nice to have this handy feature.
This has been discussed as a potential feature for 5.3, but was discussed after no small amount of flames and acrimony. here is the relevant wiki page:
