How so? Is
I think I've already explained why.
foo(array(1,2));
semantically inconsistent? On one hand () is used with a language construct (array()), whereas in the other context it indicates arguments to a function. I think that is what he meant by 'grouping' and 'application'.
Actually, I think it meant something else. In any case, semantically you can still think of array() as a function (until you throw in key declarations, of course ;) )
Similar tokens have different syntactical meaning all over the language. Compare '<<' and '<<<'. To me that is no diffent that <variable>[] and [].
Again, that's not a good reason to introduce more.
