This might make sense for an Array of Symbols. But i've also seen use  
of this
in other interpretations, like for chaining Arrays of procs. Other  
uses could be
imagined.

Fixing this on a language level would be harmful. Also, you Lighthouse- 
Ticket
was rejected because they don't even think it makes sense to fix this  
on a
Framework level. If you like it, use it as a plugin. Personally, i  
don't care about it.
