I, for one, think that language constructs should be as univocal as possible in order to minimize confusion, lest we end up having to read something like: $a = [[1,2,3],[1=>[1,3,2,2], "a"=>[[1,2,3,4],4,[1,2]]]; I don't know about you, but I can't even begin to count the brackets in there... :-)is that any less clear than $a = array(array(1,2,3), array(1 => array(1,3,2,2), array("a" => array(array(1,2,3,4), 4, array(1,2))); Both examples can be made crystal clear with appropriate whitespace.
