Agreeing to all this, but for me it is much more important that we do
not actually need it (it doesn't allow to do anything we could not do
before), it makes the language more complex (two ways of doing array
elements instead of one) and the win is negligible (you save 3
characters per key). On the other side, every tool that does PHP would
need to be updated to support this, and everybody using PHP would have
to learn to read the new syntax and work with it along with the old one.
IMHO not worth it.
