Forgive me for injecting my $.02 here but what is the original reason
for changing the most basic language syntax to be a little bit
shorter?
Is it hurting anyone to type out "array()" or something?
I think it is silly that "shortening array syntax" is up for
discussion but ensuring Unicode compatibility isn't a higher priority.
Not to mention named parameters in functions. Or Consistent naming for
functions str_* vs str*, needle/haystack ordering, etc. If you're
wanting to augment or change fundamentals of the language why not
clean some stuff up there first?
