Error. T[] cannot be implicitly converted to T[new]
Then your argument building on similarity between the two is weakened.
T[new] a;
T[] b;
...
a = [1, 2, 3];
b = [1, 2, 3];
Central to your argument was that the two must do the same thing. Since
now literals are in a whole new league (they aren't slices because
slices can't be assigned to arrays), the cornerstone of your argument
goes away.
