Bug description: Array literal syntax support
Description:
------------
It would be lovely to be able to literally define arrays with
simple syntax like the following:
["one", "two", "three"]
instead of the less intuitive:
array("one", "two", "three");
This would simplify creating arrays of arrays (of arrays)
inline for functions. Also, this would help solve the 'named
parameters' request by allowing for an associative array to be
given simply by throwing []s in.
Reproduce code:
---------------
Here is an example just for the sake of clarity:
$validate = [$_POST['post'], ['title'=>'/[A-Za-z0-9_\?\!\.\#\&\%]+/',
"text"=>'/\w*/', 'user_id'=>'/\d+/']];
This would be in opposition to:
$validate = array($_POST['post'],
array('title'=>'/[A-Za-z0-9_\?\!\.\#\&\%]+/', "text"=>'/.*/',
'user_id'=>'/\d+/'));
You can see how more complex examples can get just that much more complex
(the the nth degree).
