Hi all, The new parser Parrot has supported some code like `int[] a = new int[] {1, 2, 3}`. In order to make Groovy compatible with Java better(copy & paste code and run well), I propose to support Java-Like array literal further, i.e. supporting some code like`int[] a = {1, 2, 3}`. I experimented the new feature last weekend, it works well on the `phoenix` branch of `danielsun1106/groovy-parser` project[1].
As for some ambiguous scenario, e.g. `def a = { 1 }`, it is still parsed as closure, but if the array type is specified `int[] a = { 1 }`, it will be parsed as int array. Any thoughts?
