It's already used in lib/Cake/Core/Object.php

I'll submit a pull request shortly.

There are over 26000 calls to array() in CakePHP. Changing all of them now will make merges between 2.x and 3.x very painful. We're postponing this until after the first release of 3.0.0 as the merge pain alone is not worth it.

That's a fair point.

Do we also want the new array syntax in baked models,controllers,etc.?

Since Cake3 will be >= 5.4 this makes sense.

I'm holding it here folks, at least until 3.0 is out.

Thanks for the help on this so far. I agree it will be easier to do once 3.0.0 comes out.

Closing as this will be the case once 3.0.0 comes out.

We can use ConvertShell, as well:
