Oh god. Please no, collection literals are the worst idea ever. Making up special rules for some special classes in a language? What the fuck!?

You must be terrified at the presence of numerals and quotation marks in programming languages.

Collection Literals are actually better than string literals, because they only enforce an interface, not an implemenation.
