Subject: simpler syntax for arrays
From: jay.27182818@gmail.com (jay)

hi guys. i'm very new to your list so maybe something similar to my
proposal has been already posted somewhere at this list but really i
don't know how i can make the search.
i often pass arrays to functions/methods this way:

myfunc(array('key1'=>'val1', 'key2'=>'val2', ...));

it's really annoying to type in 'array' every time. i suggest using a
simpler syntax:

myfunc(['key1'=>'val1', 'key2'=>'val2', ...]);

like in javascript. it'd be very nice to have this handy feature.

regards,
jay
