Array Literals #61

Open sunjay opened 7 years ago

sunjay commented 7 years ago

We use byte strings to initialize arrays of bytes. This works for things that can be represented by just strings, but what about more types like arrays of booleans or arrays of u8 for example?

Support this syntax for any type of array:

let a: [bool; 5] = [true, false, true, true, false];
let b: [u8; 5] = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4];

Implementation Notes

Add another literal type to scope item and implement this like a numeric literal or a byte literal.
