Proposal: Collection Literals

[Vilya Harvey]

Hi Josh,

This would be a very nice feature to have. One small nit:

By substituting curly braces for the square brackets, you get a set literal

The literal syntax is the same as for an array initialisation, which could
cause a bit of confusion. In the example - for example :-) - it looks like
an array of ints is being autoboxed into a set., but I presume that won't
actually be what happens (i.e. the assignment wouldn't compile if the
literal was replaced by a variable with type int[])?
