I am very much +1 for this. I would also like to note the sooner we
get it in the sooner it can actually be adopted as most hosting
providers are a couple years behind of latest release, so I hope we
can build some momentum this time around and get a solid "feature"
that the user base wants. In addition I think the "Square bracket
array shortcut - keys and values are separated by colons:" is the way
to go.

Thanks,
