Array conversion

[nodesocket]

I am curious why:

c = array("foo", 4, "bar");

Converts to:

c=$("array" "foo" $((4)) "bar")

Instead of the more standard form:

declare -a c=("foo" 4 "bar")

Namely using $("array" and $(()) for numbers/booleans.

You are using syntax for running external commands.

a = ["", "y", -1, 1]; - would make an array
