It is not exactly used as a string delimiter either:)

#define hello goodbye
? "Hello"
? 'Hello'
? [Hello]

>Well, I would agree that for me it is the most natural thing to do -- I spent 30 years using another language (APL) where [] was indeed used for arrays. I'm not so sure that others would necessarily agree that it is the 'most natural thing' to do. I tend to avoid it now because of the confusion with string delimiters.

>>But using [] for arrays is the most natural thing to do. I think it is connected with the weird behavior using [ ] in strings. It is a big bug for me anyway that should be corrected by now. Your version is SP2 (I use SP1) and looks like the bug still exists in SP2 (no hope from now on - with all the other bugs left in language).
