Comment:

 Thanks for taking the time to open this ticket and PR!

 Please note that the WordPress PHP coding standards explicitly disallow
 short array syntax in favor of the more readable `array()` syntax.

 See https://make.wordpress.org/core/2019/07/12/php-coding-standards-
 changes/ and https://developer.wordpress.org/coding-standards/wordpress-
 coding-standards/php/#declaring-arrays

 As such, I am afraid your change is not something we will implement.

 If you believe there is now information that warrants a new proposal to
 change the coding standards for array syntax, I recommend reading up on
 those two links and especially the
 [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2019/03/26/coding-standards-updates-for-
 php-5-6/ first proposal for that].
