Is that an array of Complex!float, or a Complex of float-arrays?

In absence of parentheses, does the ! operator have higher precedence 
than square brackets?

Also...just thinking aloud...it occurs to me that arrays really ought to 
be templates, declared like this:

    Array!int integers;

The square-bracket declaration syntax is handy, but behind the scenes, 
is there really any difference between an array-of-a-specific-type and a 
template?
