What I find interesting is that the title of the RFC is "Array Of",
proposing a type hint for an "array of Foo". In my opinion the proposed
syntax however reads more as "Foos in an array"?

Foo[] => Foo in/as an array
array<Foo> => array of Foo

I personally like the idea of array<Foo> because it seems to leave more
room for improvements and additions over time (nesting array<array<Foo>>,
k/v typehints array<Foo, Bar>).

Best,
Alexander
