Subject: Re: difference between

thanx so far, nice trick Ryan to see the difference

echo "[1,2,3]" | parse_tree_show
s(:array, s(:lit, 1), s(:lit, 2), s(:lit, 3))

echo "Array[1,2,3]" | parse_tree_show
s(:call, s(:const, :Array), :[], s(:array, s(:lit, 1), s(:lit, 2),
s(:lit, 3)))

echo "Array.[](1,2,3)" | parse_tree_show
s(:call, s(:const, :Array), :[], s(:array, s(:lit, 1), s(:lit, 2),
s(:lit, 3)))

...

but back to my original question: it seems to me to be a violation of
the PLS that
[] ist not somehow tied to Array#[]

same should apply to {} and Hash#[] etc.

what are the real reasons for a separation of this concepts?
