I don't think it is wize to add a new array literal syntax before
:
- added optimization to promote them on heap. Thing like int[2]
= [1, 2] can trivially avoid GC allocation.
- added some support for ownership/lifetime. This will allow the
compiler to promote even more on heap.
If don't expect the new syntax to be that useful if these point
are addressed. If I'm turn out to be wrong, we can reconsider at
that point.
