I think for that to fly it would have to be a per-module thing. Then each module using the syntax would be able to choose the meaning of it. A simple way to do this would be for the compiler to translate it into something like __array__([[[ ... ]]]) and then you would just define __array__ appropriately, e.g. from numpy import array as __array__ Personally I'm not very enthusiastic about the whole thing, though. I don't find the new syntax to be much of an improvement, if any. Certainly nowhere near enough to be worth adding syntax. -- Greg
