Bug description: Patch: Use [ ] as shortcut for array()
In my script I use a lot of nested array() or array() as
parameter. So the array() things start to get in the way.
I assume many PHP programmer feels the same thing.
We need a short version of array() construct, and I think
the [] is the best choice. It is used in python and ruby.
After a little bit trying I finally could make a patch and
make it work on my server.
I hope this patch will find its way to official php soon.
WARNING:
I'm new in this whole bison & C thing so I maybe making some
silly mistake.
