I checked top 2k projects with a 2-3 months outdated data set. Here is the analysis log: https://gist.github.com/nikic/b5f811e0423bf051f4492cd6e0c0273e Overall there were ~2.2k individual uses of alternative array syntax. To put that into context, there 888.3k total array accesses in the data set, which puts usage at about 0.25%. Uses are usually clustered, i.e. if alternative array syntax is used in a file, it will be used many times. Nikita
