I'm changing my old vote, so -1 to +1. Changes and additions to syntax may (or may not) slow adoption, but since other such changes are being made then let's do it. And while explicit code (e.g., array()) is nice, many people are familiar with array shortcuts[1]. And on a related note for those at home, function array dereferencing[2] has already been implemented in trunk. Also, there could probably be a discussion dedicated to arrays as other features/shortcuts like slicing has casually been discussed.
