I see very little benefit, specially in my keyboard layout, where typing [  
and ] requires pressing Alt Gr + 8/9.

Plus, it can cause confusion because [] is currently used for array  
dereference.

For instance:


<?php
class A implements ArrayAccess {
function offsetSet($offset, $value) {}
function offsetExists($offset) {}
function offsetUnset($offset) {}
function offsetGet($offset) { var_dump($offset); }
}
$a = new A;
$a[array()];

is much more clear than

$a[[]]
