Heh, I see your point. Though the first of these two isn't so non-perly.
The second, people wouldn't do at all: they'd leave off the *[ ]
altogether.
BTW, the colon is indirect object, remember? The first is equivilent to:
@a.push [1,2,3,4];
Since I assume push is going to be a method now.
As far as the brackets-as-list thing, I think it has been discussed
ad nauseum, and I'll leave it to the heavyweights to sort it out.
