All of this is just to reduce typing "array" (5 > characters) before things? Not here. For me, the shorter syntax is simply an order of magnitude more readable. I really don't care how much typing is involved -- if I were really that fussed, I'd simply set my editor to expand a nice short abbreviation (such as "ar", maybe) into array(). In fact, I might go do that right now, now that I've thought of it.... Cheers!
