Re: Syntactic improvement to array

So what I'm thinking of is: array(1, 2, 3) == [1, 2, 3]

I like this syntax, more conscise but still clear (and well established in other languages by now). Two more thoughts (but please don't kill Andi's proposal because of it, rather dismiss my comments instead ;-)):

- [$a, $b, $c] = ...    equivalent to    list($a, $b, $c) = ...
- func('foo' => $foo, 'bar' => $bar, ...)   equivalent to func(array('foo' => $foo, 'bar' => $bar, ...), see http://cschneid.com/php/ for more info
