[Python-ideas] Change the array declaration syntax.

[Arthur]

I thought about how to do but did not analyze the feasibility, sorry about
that. It could be after the symbol']'and ')'. So would:

>>> var1 = [1, 2, 3]i # a singletype int list, as a current array
>>> var2 = ('1', '2', '3')i # a singletype int tuple, as a current
>>> array, but immutable

Até mais!
