I'm one of the people who've brought it up on Twitter. Today's discussion seems to
have earned some traction, which is a step in the right direction, I believe.

At risk of turning this into a longer-than-necessary discussion, I believe a new RFC is required at
this point. Making [ and ] work as (T_ARRAY, '(') and (')'), respectively is no
longer good enough, for the main reason you've pointed out: JSON is becoming ubiquitous; actual
first-class JSON would be very valuable to me.
I would be happy to find some time to participate in RFC reform for this subject.
