Subject: difference between [] and Array[]

hi,

all the time i thought [] would be a shortcut for the corresponding
class method of the class Array, but after

def Array.[](*args)
    puts "blah"
end

i still get

a= [1, 2, 3]
=> [1, 2, 3]

and on the other hand

a= Array[1, 2, 3]  # or a= Array.[](1, 2, 3)
blah
=> nil

so what is the exact cause of the difference?

can I somehow redefine the 'global' []
